The Clock on the Walls Says ----

The "banks" (and I use that term more as an ideological position as opposed to a true bricks and mortar location) could have, in early 2010, shifted gears, found a mid-ground, kept what they'd stolen and gone on. They would have gotten most of what they'd wanted and could have mitigated to a large degree what's happening today.

But like the arrogant little dicks they've always proven to be, filled with the assurance that they, and they alone, called the shots, they pushed that envelope expecting to get everything, blissfully ignorant of the well-spring of hatred and rebellion brewing quietly, moving from discomfort to fear to anger.

Obama could have, 12 months in to his term, used his powers of elocution to have sold a watered down plan to save a few of the peasants but no one did this. It's too late now. The power is growing and what would have satisfied the majority 18 months ago won't work any longer. Hang tight. It's about to get "interesting".

Like the Moral Majority of the 80's, whenever these little right-wingers get a sniff of power they pretty much go hog-wild. But if you surround yourself with only those people who agree with you, it is almost understandable (on one level) that you think your position is more popular than it really is.

They wanted everything. They had sooooo much, more than Kings yet -- they needed more. And soon, very soon, they will have much less than they actually started with . . . an interesting time.

Indeed.
