"Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths." Joseph Campbell

Washington gets scolded on a potential $700 billion bailout plan for the rich. Their calls were running a reported 90% against such a plan. Remember, these folks are all running for re-election. Apparently a majority of them are not into being unemployed. Stay tuned. This one ain't over. In the meantime, it won't hurt for the rich to get a taste of being poor. Keep in mind, retirement plans are a rich man's fancy. You may qualify.

"Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble." Joseph Campbell

"The fundamentals of our economy are strong." John McCain



I'm assuming, because the economy is so strong, that there will be no need for us to give the rich boys $700 billion of our dollars. We should give them all jail sentences instead.

"Man is kind enough when he's not excited by religion, but once the holy holies have got a grip on him he's capable of almost anything. When a disciple from the wildcat religious asylum comes marching forth, get under the bed. It doesn't matter whether he's a Christian, Hindu, Jew, or Muslim. If he's made up his mind that you need reforming, he will do it with anything handy-an ax, eight hundred years of witch burning or, if necessary, he'll blow you up." Mark Twain
