Tuck and Roll

Who We (Still) Are - WSJ.com:
"'It's the age of the empty suit.' Those who were supposed to be watching things, making the whole edifice run, keeping it up and operating, just somehow weren't there.

That's the big thing at the heart of the great collapse, a strong sense of absence. Who was in charge? Who was in authority? The biggest swindle in all financial history if the figure of $50 billion is to be believed, and nobody knew about it, supposedly, but the swindler himself. The government didn't notice, just as it didn't notice the prevalence of bad debts that would bring down America's great investment banks."
This opinion piece brought a small tear to my eye along with the flush of adrenaline that comes when you perceive a great adventure in front of you.


Lets carry forth from here on out. The next frontier being in part that more perfect union aspired to by our founding fathers (and mothers). As I am fond of saying - tuck and roll.
