Are the 500,000 possibly guilty? No? Then your point is moot.

my point - stop the need to point fingers and criminalize without understanding. the country is running around decrying evil wall street, why? it was ignorant and stupid of Obama to point the finger at Wall St. Did you read that JP Morgan didnt want the baliout money, the government forced it on them!

I was hoping our new president was a bright guy, but then again he is a lawyer and using his rationale, all lawyers are scum, talk about shameful.

Stupid statement. Just a re-direction of anger from YOUR sector which is finally under much needed scrutiny. Nothing like a good cleansing of an industry that has it's own fair share of scumbags as well.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I was using his rationale of labeling an entire industry, based on some scumbags. I dont really think that.

Did I just commit conservative on conservative crime?
