I would settle for not being stupid. A pack of greedy wolves each get their share. When the bear comes all the greedy wolves are there. The other pack is nothing but a fat wolf, soon to face the bear alone.

Exactly...great point!

OK, so let's say there are about six of you that did not vote. I'll add you in and you are still down by a very decisive 43-15, so please stop your whin...just kidding! I am done commenting on this matter, but may read some posts down the road to give rep. Enjoy your evening!

I'm not mad at Wall Street. Those guys were just doing what they will always do/have always done when left to their own devices. I AM mad at our government, first and foremost for the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Second, for embracing the 'too big to fail' extortion of the big banks. Third, for failure to prosecute egregious unlawful activity by same banks and trading houses.

As above take it one step further. 90% of incumbents return to office. If you are not depressed enough then realize that some of those who do not return to office retire , die or go to prison.

The poll is greatly flawed. It excludes options for those who were never mad at Wall Street (myself included). There's a good portion of people who cannot even vote.

I didn't vote, and haven't even looked at the results because I posted several times and told people exactly how I felt. That was more important that a silly biased poll w/only two choices for those w/an axe to grind....

most who even voted have so little understanding as to what even happened that their votes are based on beleiving their own bull-sh@t and not actual events and fact.
