re: #321 HappyWarrior

See, this is what has turned me frustrated with the left of the party. One of my cousins works on WS. She’s brilliant, our family’s first Ivy Leaguer, and very open minded. She’s not a heartless banker villain. Does WS have problems? Yes that’s why things like Dodd-Frank were needed but the people who work there aren’t all cartoon villains either.

My husband got in a lot of trouble at various sites by simply asking “What laws were broken that you will use to throw them in jail?” He was called everything from conservative asshole (he is not the former and sometimes the latter :-D) to…well, you know. It is a valid question, though. You can’t throw someone in prison you don’t like any more than they can throw you in for your views. (At least at the moment.)

While there are times he makes me nuts sometimes, he is almost always valid in his thinking. I think that is what frustrated me most with Bernie. There was no THERE there in all his ranting - and he has been a lawmaker for 20+ years. He knows better. Many don’t.
