Will the roller coaster ride of the stock market end? This is crazy, really now. I read an article by Mark Cuban (yeah, I happen to think he's cool in a strange way) predicting the current plunge. See http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/daily-take/201108/did-mark-cuban-predict-market-crash I don't think he's far off. As a matter of fact, there are a number of people out there with their own takes on the state of the market that combined, show a great picture of an unhealthy US economy.
We should all be disturbed, better yet furious. You don't have to be a finance guru to feel the pinch in the job market, on the gas line, or shopping at The Loft. America is being ruined by unadulterated greed and zero moral conscience. I am waiting for the day when values, ethics and patriotism return and we start speaking out again. I don't mean the right-wing kind of rant. I mean standing up and demanding the appropriate treatment from anyone holding any kind of power that impacts our lives. If we have you in power, deal with us on our terms. This includes our politicians, our governing bodies, our manufacturers and retailers,etc. Enough of being led like sheep to the slaughter.
Don't think this is too far out a concept. It was not too far back when housewives boycotted stores and companies to protest for selling unhealthy or expensive products; when students took to the streets to protest wars, and citizens were regularly in touch with elected officials to do right by them.
