[Lloyd Comments] Strange that so few point to the obvious interest rate "error" of Bernanke that started the crisis.

Does anyone ask if an interest rate that had to be completely reversed within a few months was an ERROR. . . ERROR! ERROR!

Or accident on purpose to elect Obama AND/OR put an end to the mortgage insanity at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack?

I deleted the whole "play list" discussion.  However, I listened to the Michael Hoffman lectures on religion and altered mental states.  Very interesting.  He has certainly evolved since I first started dealing with him back around 1975.  He used to be an extreme Bible Thumping "literalist".

Perhaps we can keep the "other" message board set-up to link play lists. . .   yeah, Hoffman isn't music.

 Glad to see someone made it over to the new A-albionic system.

Again, you are espousing the "Master" conspiracy, ie. that the Ruling Class / Conspiracy is essentially unitary.  I am skeptical.  I think there are powerful ruling class factions, but they are fighting for power and, as often as not, what happens is the unplanned consequence of conflict, conflicting plans and/or just plain fighting amongst the powerful.
