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
