What Are We Going To Do About The Wall Street Gangsters?

Starting with Clinton and through the Bush Administration , the Wall Street gangsters got all they wanted. The "For Sale" administrations repealed Depression-era security and banking laws and appointed Wall Street pirate captains to cabinet positions.

But Bear Stearns stock went from $170 to $10. And there are many other brokers and banking stocks on the same trajectory. So criminals with unbridled greed given free roaming access to other peoples money brings self-destruction faster than anyone could have imagined.

No one knows how all this chaos will play out. We all could end up in the streets fighting for our lives and property. If that happens I know who I will be looking for : members of Congress, lawyers and Wall Street operators.

McCain, Clinton & Edward VIII: It's About Who You Are And Who You Slept With

Edward VIII had an affair with Mrs. Simpson. He abdicated his throne. Some think it was romantic. One fact is certain. People still talk about this episode in Britains history of monarchs.

Senator John McCain has been accused of having an affair with a "lobbyist" . McCain is being verbally stoned in the press. Bill Clinton had an affair with an over-sexed, star-struck intern. He was impeached. Question. If McCain's And Clinton's paramours were somewhat cultured and refined would the public reaction have been mitigated? If McCain or Clinton were really in love would that have tempered opinion?

Maybe its because we think so little of McCain and Clinton to begin with that these illicit affairs are just more evidence of the lack of admiration and credibility these two gents deserve. We know particularly that Bill Clinton has and would screw anything that would stand still. Even if that meant that Bill would have to bite Juanita's lip!

Predictions For Year 2007

1) Global warming's implications and remedies will have the largest philosophical influence in the public debate.

2) It will become apparant that the irresponsible population growth in emerging countries only exacerbates the problems of malnutrition, HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Also natural disasters such as storms, flooding, earthquakes etc. are also made worse because of overcrowding. For examples, clearing of the forrests take away the lands ability to absorb rain; poorly built dwellings can easily be shook apart by even mild earthquakes especially when the building sites are not appropriate.

3) There is an upside to finally dealing with global warming issues. Particularly with the new leadership in Congress. New legislation will come forth that will eventually change the industrial base in America from it's 20th century industrial revolution template. It will be replaced with an environmentally sustainable approach to manufacturing and living that will end up providing boom times for well-situated companies. Technology in particular will benefit. The NASDAQ should climb by at least 20% in 2007.

4) Dick Cheney will resign from office. He will cite health reasons. But he faces numerous lawsuits. They include: Plamegate; cooked-up Iraqi War intelligence; his "energy policy" meetings which includes warmongering with his old firm of Halliburton.

5) George Bush will appoint Condi Rice as Cheney's replacement. She will come in handy if Bush needs a pardon if he is forced out of office. But that is a long shot.

6)It looks like Clinton and Obama will be the democratic nominees for the presidential ticket. Who will be in which slot is not clear.

7) Good health and critical thinking are still the most important personal assets.
