And sorry, this is just so fitting I couldn't leave it to be randomly generated with the quotes above:
"Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back."
- Sir Josiah Stamp, former President, Bank of England

There's been a lot of press lately about the banking collapse in the US. Since everyone is aware of it I'd thought I'd post a couple of links on that theme today, the first link explains how it all came to pass: The Subprime Primer. And the second video shows a rather intelligent response to the planned bailout:
Of course, it's could only happen in the US, right? Lol. Think again. Firstly realize that Canadian banks have remained conspiciously silent on the topic - they have rules of non-disclosure, so don't have to tell us how deeply they're in this mess together. But try and figure out how within the past 10 years house prices have went up by a factor of 5 and more times. And figure out where all these home buyers got their money. Are you earning 5 times what you were 10 years ago?

A rather interesting site, where people send in postcards with their secrets written on one side. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/
Should a postcard not hold all you have to confess, do a search on Google for "secret confession", you'll find ample forums to share your secrets. I rather like PostSecret, as the images give perspective to the secret. But that's me.
