except that we the men and the women of this society happily gave birth to this monstrous baby, and hoped that one day our greed would be satisfied by her magic.

except that this crying baby has been fed by the very hands that denied her this bailout, with stocks and mutual funds and retirement plans and such.

except that this crying baby is a powerful baby, and her demise can very well send you the all-knowing adults into your own recession for the next three to five years to come -- perhaps especially for those who did not have any interest in the baby.

life continues indeed. HA!
