I am beginning to see a pattern of how you make gross simplications to try to make the situation fit into your pigeonhole of how the government can save us by making simple and effective regulations to control the simple financial systems. Unfortunately, the reality is that there have been thousands of cases of government interference in the markets for decades now, and each one can and does have many unforseen consequences. It is incredibly naive to assume that eliminating or adding to a ridiculously complex system of regulations will immediately result in disaster or salvation. Not everything fits into your simple physics models, and you (and government regulators, and I) do not know anywhere near as much as we need to if we are to play god with millions or billions of people interacting in a market. > No, because we had a government that had X regulations and we had few > problems of this type for most of the last 75 years. ROTFLMAO! You really should consider a career in comedy. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
