(no subject)

Полно у дьявола утех,
Но яростней всего его прислуга
Науськивает друг на друга тех,
Кто невозможен друг без друга.

Хоть мир имел один исток,
Его бесстыдно разметали
На лево-право, Запад и Восток,
На вертикали и горизонтали.

Подруга Вертикаль людей живыми ест,
Сестра Горизонталь грозит иной расплатой.
Давно разъяли бы и крест,
Когда бы не удерживал Распятый.

And more on bailout

The cost of the subprime bailout is (ready?) 120 Billion Dollars

Fine, they probably wont just pay 120B to whomever is messing up. Instead, they will probably go with tax breaks and such which is not as bad but still, still, I say that bailout of any kind is wrong. Let the lenders burn first and foremost so that they will know better next time. And since the people in the sub-prime arena are the ones that don't qualify for prime, they didn't have the means to have those homes in the first place. These homes will go to the people who have the means, and let it be so.
