Budd said...: There were government oversites on enron, but enron was bankrolling a lot of politicians. You know who discovered the fraud? Traders.

There was oversite on banks and wall street trading. Banks were forced by government to make risky loans to encourage parity in the housing market for minorities. The Fed also did their magic with rates making it extremely cheap to loan money. You know who saw what was happening and warned everyone in 2003? Ron Paul.

BP, you mean that company with politicians in its pocket. their were regulations in place, but they were not followed or enforced, due to the afore mentioned politicians in their pockets. The same politicians bailed them out and helped them pay for the clean up.

Did you know that pollution that affected neigborhoods and towns was once investigated and the people would sue offending companies and win. Then the EPA came along and made it legal to pollute within limits, or outside of those limits if you were willing to pay a fine.

Big Government is so helpful.; September 29, 2011 at 11:04 AM

Budd said...: That is were we diverge, my friend. I don't see that Government and Big Business are all that seperate. Especially after TARP and its offspring. It isn't just the republicans, it is also the democrats. They all profit when the corporations profit. Every last one of them is in the back pocket of someone else, except for Ron Paul. He wants to stop corporate welfare. That is why he doesn't get any press from these news papers and news stations that are owned by these corporate conglomerates.; September 29, 2011 at 12:25 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
