Got another banking scandal over here now.
The bankers we bailed out and who refuse to meet government imposed
targets to loan to small businesses.
The latest scandal after politicians cheating expenses and the phone
hacking scandal.
Worst of which was not the unsurprising behaviour of journalists but
that police and politicians were complicit with the media.
Latest banking scandal will be subject to a parliamentary enquiry.
The politicians investigating themselves and the bankers who fund
their parties.
Police predict more rioting this year, and though it's not good
weather for it now, it'll perhaps be less inclement when the
corporate Olympics gig has started and eyes of the world are on
London.
And while you wouldn't condone it, fair play to rioters, they at
least are punished for their thieving.
As it all gets ratcheted up further, the politicians continue to
underestimate the public mood, which keeps getting uglier and uglier.
We'll see where it all goes.

Bruce, I think you're absolutely right. But I think Franc is
right to a degree also. I just took a class at a local community
college (one semester). The kids (other students) seemed nice enough
but there was a general atmosphere of thoughtlessness about them all
in every direction; and their language was like nothing I ever heard.
The F-word was every third word, s--t, b--ch, and they weren't even
angry or upset about anything. This was just their normal speech.
Can't imagine what I would have heard if they had been upset about
something!!!!
That's another thing I like about cats: The strongest language I
heard from them is "Meow", none of them has broken my heart, one of
them has insulted me, none of them has been mean to me. They just
want to love and be loved. Why don't people feel that way? I
appreciate the negative economy and how this has hurt many people,
but I didn't cause it, so don't blame me.
And I am now convinced that every member of Congress is either a
crook or an idiot. And would you like an example of greed,
stupidity, selfishness, and more stupidity??? Try Blagojevich or
whatever his name is. If you're going to be a crook, at least be a
smart one.
OK, I guess that's enough soap box for one day. Thanks for
listening!

I completely agree. But if I were kicked out of a job I had for 30
years by a company that made record profits, I too might not act as
well as I would hope!

Of course I have no clue on that crazy woman, but generally, I
think you are seeing the results of big business run wild in our
country. They are losing employees left and right and giving the ones
that are left more and more to do for the same or less pay, and
meanwhile they are blaming it on the "recession" but they are often
making record profits.
And the politicians are ALL miserable, so busy stuffing their own
pockets with graft that they are not seeing the misery their actions
(and inactions) are causing.
We are seeing the rapid destruction of the middle class AND
millions who THOUGHT they were OK for retirement are finding they get
zero on their investments (because the government is printing
trillions and loaning it at zero to the banks, to keep bailing them
out), and now they will likely have to work the rest of their life.
And we are told that when we are destitute the government will care
for us, but for some that is little comfort.
And there is no sign anything will get better anytime soon.
I would say THE ABOVE greatly contributes to general fear,
unpleasantness, and outright anger that you (and I) witness more and
more on a daily basis.

Slightly off-topic but mostly on: Why is nothing ever easy any

honest, congenial, easy to deal with, and life was pleasant.
Over the past few years (started when I was living in Jerusalem),
I have become heavily involved in rescuing cats and kittens. You
would not BELIEVE some of the people I have run into in this field.
They are INSANE!!!!! I had one woman approach me in a Petsmart where
I was offering rescued kittens for adoption, and she looked at me and
said "You're a turd." I was so shocked I didn't even know what to
say!!!
Not only with animals but movie paper, books, etc., I'm beginning
to think the world has gone NUTS--except for me and everyone on MOPO.

Have any of the Ebay sellers on this board had dealings with a
Ebay Buyer named John Cioffi aka supabintan? He lives in Victoria,
Australia and appears to be the buyer from hell. He purchased
something from me on June 14. When I didn't receive payment from him,
I sent him an Ebay Reminder ten days later on June 24, which did
elicit a response and the response unfortunately was some nonsense
about having trouble with PayPal and he wanted me to accept an
alternate payment, which I almost never do anymore except for good
customers that I've dealt with over the years. I reluctantly said I
would accept a postal money order which he told me he'd send out by
Express Mail. A few days later, he sent me some nonsense about how I
should have graded the lobby card he purchased as Good condition and
not as Excellent- because I said it had a few pinholes. This was
before even paying for or receiving the lobby card in question and I
probably should have known at that point that this buyer was going to
be bad news. I told him that grading terms were subjective but a
photo scan that was enlargeable was provided on Ebay, as well as a
thorough description of all the defects on the card. He then
sent me a list of links to photos of cards he owned which he wanted
me to rate. I declined and asked him when he planned to pay for the
card he bought from me. He once again promised to send the payment by
Express Mail. As of last Thursday evening I still had not received a
payment from this idiot and asked him for a tracking number which he
refused to provide so I closed my Ebay Dispute and received a Final
Value Fee from Ebay. He then proceeded to sent a tirade of e-mails,
one of which DID contain a tracking number for an International Air
Mail Delivery which was delivered to a USPS Disbatch Center in New
York for distribution but was clearly not delivered to me as of yet.
If I ever do get this payment, I'm sending it back unopened. I don't
want to do business with jerks like this anymore. Life is too short.
Unless you've got loads of patience, I'd recommend you add supabintan
to your Bidder's Block List.
