How can these "executives" look at themselves in their mirrors? Oh, wait . . . I am applying my ethical standards to people who obviously have none. It's like what is happening in Illinois with Blagojevich. He doesn't even see that what he did as being wrong in any way, and is trying to play victim. Unbelievable.

How can these "executives" look at themselves in their mirrors?

When your house is filled with gold plated mirrors with diamonds on them, how could you be wrong? I mean in America, they don't give lots of money to people who don't deserve it. You have to earn it. It's just compensation for all those long hard years put in at some Ivy league school and all the frat parties they had to go to. Oh, and the dinners, golf dates, vacation meetings and such. If it were illegal to take other people's money and give it to yourself, they would arrest them for stealing right? Nope. These guys are gods when they look in the mirror.

We all need to humble ourselves in their presence.

In many other parts of the world the populace would be rioting in the streets over this by now. Here in America everyone just looks on stunned like deer in the headlights. But then the crisis is only in its early stages so who knows what could happen.

Quick, give ourselves 6-7 figure bonuses before we have to declare bankruptcy and anything that's left of the business gets taken away!

Myself I'm poring over the paperwork needed to get myself declared a bank holding company, eligible for TARP funds
