Discovering the Depth of the Moral Black Holes

Well, well.
How deep the people are now paying where it hurts to have discovered the moral black holes of their communities. They used to be visible at every corner but as they retreated, consolidating their so-called services (charging you to give you your money and colluding among themselves about those fees), we are now witnessing this humongous "bailout" of the banking industry. Those very places which make you cue up in herd-like fashion waiting dumbly for the slaughter. And they make you wait so long that whatever illusion you may have had about seeing your deposits increase goes up in smoke and mirrors but not before golden handshakes of zillions of dollars handed over to those very same people who have caused this economic collapse and the loss of peoples' pensions, investments etc.
And they still (those bankers) have those silly little Charity ads on their counters while you're attempting to conduct your business in some privacy (gooda lucka).
Yeah... it was just the more obviously greedy U.S. bankers who needed the 'bailout' because our Cdn fellows were so much more shrewd... keeping us waiting and upping their fees. And more tightfisted about supporting the entrepreneurs who ultimately make their system tick. The shame belongs easily as much to the Cdn banks as it does to the other world banks being nationalized (good thinking. Nationalize the pharmaceutical industry while you're at it!).
