THE ANSWERS KEEP COMING IN WAVES SO SUBLIME -BUT THE QUESTION IS, THE QUESTION IS,
but the question is OUT OF IT'S MIND.
lyric by Jerry Corbitt
They say you can take the boy out of New Jersey but you can't take New
Jersey out of the boy. Or you could just say I'm clueless and provincial.
TARP watchdog (and newly minted populist hero) Elizabeth Warren does
it in just one paragraph:
“The financial industry wrote rules that allowed it to act recklessly.
The industry captured agencies that were supposed to regulate it,
taking cops off the beat and funneling enormous resources into the
political process to make sure there wouldn’t be any new cops. Then,
with no laws to hold them back, the banks made hundreds of billions of
dollars on the sales of deceptive products. That went on for years,
and the industry’s tricks-and-traps pricing got more and more out of
control. Eventually, the sale and re-sale of deceptive mortgages and
other dangerous products made trillions of dollars for Wall Street
while bringing down the American economy. When the industry’s
recklessness brought the biggest banks to the brink of collapse, Wall
Street turned to the taxpayers for bailouts and guarantees, which put
it right back into big profits and big bonuses.”
Space Adventures, Ltd, - featured regularly on Gizmag - is currently
the only company skyrocketing people into space (and bringing them
home again). It has even placed “privateers” in the International
Space Station. At present, Space Adventures offers sub-orbital
flights (62 miles or 100km above Earth) for US$102,000. Space
Adventures, located in Vienna, Virginia, with an office in Moscow, has
organized flights to the final frontier for the world's first private
space explorers. It offers a variety of programs including a trip
around the moon.
