In searching for reading and ideas for Sunday evening, I came across a document on Scribd, in order to save the document to my PC for reading, and even some cut & paste (plagiarism - surely not, but a good quote!!). It is a document publication site, allowing the publication of papers, short stories and the like.
A couple of days ago it was twitter, and extremely short messages, today its Scribd and seriously long messages.
Listening to Al Murry talk about his new show last night, he picks on people working in the financial industry. He talks about the anger that the topic generates. Most of the people he sees are not to blame for the current crisis and have no idea where the money has gone. The ones that are to blame still seem to be doing very nicely. The former head of RBS gets his 600,000+ a year pension 10 years early and without penalty. His bank post a record 16,000 million pound loss. He says he will keep his pension - all of it, and seems to see nothing wrong! Our government have agreed to cover most of their worthless loans. That means the people of Britain will be paying for this crisis for years to come.
It should surprise no-one that people are angry.
When something fails this catastrophically it is not worth tyring to put it back together - remember Humpty Dumpty?
