		<description>anon&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for adding that. In these days, the pop singers talk about change, but like politicians, they all want a bigger audience, more pay and no accountability!</description>

		<description>Woody&#039;s song never made much sense to me until I finally saw the last two verses:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;As I was walkin&#039;  -  I saw a sign there&lt;br/&gt;And that sign said - no tress passin&#039;&lt;br/&gt;But on the other side  .... it didn&#039;t say nothin!&lt;br/&gt;Now that side was made for you and me!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Chorus&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple&lt;br/&gt;Near the relief office - I see my people&lt;br/&gt;And some are grumblin&#039; and some are wonderin&#039;&lt;br/&gt;If this land&#039;s still made for you and me.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There&#039;s a growing sense that both sides of the fence aren&#039;t made for you and me - that more and more of the country&#039;s wealth, opportunity and hope has been cordoned off for the upper 1 or 2% of the population with the power to take and take and take.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Woody&#8217;s song never made much sense to me until I finally saw the last two verses:</p>
<p>&#8220;As I was walkin&#8217;  &#8211;  I saw a sign there<br />And that sign said &#8211; no tress passin&#8217;<br />But on the other side  &#8230;. it didn&#8217;t say nothin!<br />Now that side was made for you and me!</p>
<p>Chorus</p>
<p>In the squares of the city &#8211; In the shadow of the steeple<br />Near the relief office &#8211; I see my people<br />And some are grumblin&#8217; and some are wonderin&#8217;<br />If this land&#8217;s still made for you and me.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a growing sense that both sides of the fence aren&#8217;t made for you and me &#8211; that more and more of the country&#8217;s wealth, opportunity and hope has been cordoned off for the upper 1 or 2% of the population with the power to take and take and take.</p>

		<description>One more thing to link to Katrina.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The wealthy people here that were chasing yields and looking for new ways to be greedy, were very much like the poor people in Katrina, in that they both ignored risk, warnings, reality and thus failed to accept the fact that all individuals are accountable for their actions, and that to be in denial about this or to be in a stupor like a meth addict and to place yourself at risk  -- will put you in a position where in general, you get what you deserve for being retarded and not using the brain cells that God has leased out to you.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  We should also recall that my old friend Einstein suggested that God does not play dice with the universe, but in this lotto-driven casino society where there is a plague of retarded thinking, and a tsunami wave of attention deficit zombies, perhaps God has simply allowed us to collectively change the odds of life , by allowing the act of free will to alter the old odds of how this game is played  --   by allowing nepotism to play a central role in who is in charge of the casinos.  The obvious example is FEMAs poster child Brown, who was told by the leader of our golden society, that he had done &quot;a heck of a job&quot;. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; When we view this example in the context of the current regulation shortfall, the chain of nepotism that resulted in retarded people regulating retarded people has resulted in a CDO Squared Era of chaos, where the casino called America is now in debt to God for the tune of $5000 Gazillion, Bahzillion!  The only way out is to issue more synthetic illusions and to hope that God has infinite patience and an endless sense of humor.  meanwhile, the devil is in the details and waiting to embrace his servants that are currently busy with the systemic destruction of America.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Re:  This land is your land, this land is my land&lt;br/&gt;From California, to the New York Island&lt;br/&gt;From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters&lt;br/&gt;This land was made for you and me&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As I was walking a ribbon of highway&lt;br/&gt;I saw above me an endless skyway&lt;br/&gt;I saw below me a golden valley&lt;br/&gt;This land was made for you and me&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Chorus&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ve roamed and rambled and I&#039;ve followed my footsteps&lt;br/&gt;To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts&lt;br/&gt;And all around me a voice was sounding&lt;br/&gt;This land was made for you and me&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks Woody!!</description>

<p>Re:  This land is your land, this land is my land<br />From California, to the New York Island<br />From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters<br />This land was made for you and me</p>
<p>As I was walking a ribbon of highway<br />I saw above me an endless skyway<br />I saw below me a golden valley<br />This land was made for you and me</p>
<p>Chorus</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve roamed and rambled and I&#8217;ve followed my footsteps<br />To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts<br />And all around me a voice was sounding<br />This land was made for you and me</p>
<p>Thanks Woody!!</p>

		<description>This is the flip side of The Katrina disaster response, i.e, someone feels the need to put on a  dog and pony show, to hide incompetency, collusion, corruption, nepotism, ignorance, retardation, gullibility, passive aggressive discretionary abuse, etc...</description>

		<description>Extreme high net worth gets hit with this problem&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thus, a much more &quot;aggressive&quot; stance.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I posit that this has teeth due to the level of people illiquid and screwed.</description>
