I've also been blogging at my site
www.bobwaldrop.net about the financial situation,
and the difference between the real economy and
parasitical Wall Street economy.

"Another Depression might be a relief to many
people. They know our prosperity is built on war.
It might be so much better than war. People won't
have to keep up a front any longer. They wouldn't
have to keep up the payments any more. There would
have to be a moratorium. The threat of Depression
is nothing to worry about. I wish to goodness the
stock market would collapse for good and for all.
I'd like to see a nonviolent revolution take place
and an end to this Holy War..."
Dorothy Day, as told to Studs Terkel in "Hard
Times, An Oral History of The Great Depression"
1970
"We need to change the system. We need to
overthrow, not the government, as the authorities
are always accusing the Communists "of conspiring
to teach to do," but this rotten, decadent, putrid
industrial capitalist system which breeds such
suffering in the whited sepulcher of New York."
Dorothy Day, "On Pligrimage," September 1956
