Seriously? Seriously?

I'm listening to the smart folks on my flist who explain why letting shit collapse might be a bad thing (yeah, I haven't finished stocking up on dry and canned goods yet, but I've started), but the ongoing disconnect here, coupled with what marchenland wisely observed yesterday (to wit, paraphrased: "I don't feel like we're getting the whole story here; nothing moves this fast, with so much pressure out of nowhere, without the public being left very seriously in the fucking dark about something behind the scenes that's probably really fucking important.")....

Yeah, I'm one of those angry constituents who don't want a bailout passed yet, and I think I've got a good case for my reservations.

Or, as I said elsewhere via IM: ELECT ME GOD AND GET OUT OF THE DAMNED WAY, PEOPLE.

It's the same reason the Wizard of Oz hid behind a curtain, while using an overglorified light show to instill fear and command respect in people. If we knew the whole truth, we'd see the Emperor has no clothes on.

I wonder who would actually be surprised to find that out?
