Is Cyprus the test tube for picking the winners and losers and allowing consolidation in to "Super Banks". It would appear that once again, those that were reckless and caused this problem are not only bailed out by the people, but are re-enforced in their breaking of the public trust and the innocent (people) are made to pay for their recklessness and suffer more hardship and possible poverty. When is enough, enough?

"This study is powerful partly because the date that supports it is so robust and because the researchers investgating that data are so deeply rooted in the American establishment. This is no Occupy Wall Street critique - it is a sober analysis done by economists at the Fed and the Treasury."

I think it's time to begin the discussion of how to work inside this structure "OR" demand the real change needed to equalize the playing field. Either way, someone is not going to be very happy.

I posted this to the Ugly Side on Bundlr.com because I think this portraits the many faces of the Ugly Side of our society. One part is the disservice we do to the mentally ill when we provide little and nothing more than lip service when it comes to readily available services and meaningful outreach. The stigma that we attach to their very being is so negative that families don't know where to turn or how to talk about it. Which leads me to the scoundrels that prey upon those looking for answers. And they are cons. They take shreds of truth and a fact here and there and wrap it around some bogus fairytale and pass it off as some giant revelation. Most critical thinkers quickly see it for what it is. Completely wacko. But we are not the ones they are preying on. They are looking for sheep. People lost and looking for answers. People weak and at their most vulnerable. They just suck them in. The real Ugly is when they can turn on the news and all those wacko ideas are given validity. When the so-called "Mainstream" media offers them up as "some people are saying" or worse "expert opinion". Validating by absence of rebuttal is just as damning as an out right endorsement. But then again, I think they already know that.
