Good morning, and good luck.

Heather Mallick's latest comment on the LIBOR scandal-crimes.

Thomas Walkom on the meaning of DT-45's rants about Canadian "unfairness" re: dairy products, softwood lumber and so on, and where the rants might lead to. Warning: top of page includes video imagery of DT-45 and you might actually have to endure hearing him speak. Again. :-(

It has been my contention that most of the trouble in the world has been due to greed.  It is no longer enough to have enough money to be super wealthy, it's now far beyond a way to keep score and you must keep amassing more and more and more.  I heard of a man living in San Francisco who made an unbelievable amount of money, sadly I can't remember how, and he has almost given all of it away.  His objective is to bounce the last check he writes when he dies. Sounds like a good way to go.

If you have the means to ensure such an exit, I'd certainly consider it one of several agreeable options.

I often wonder if one of my own problems is that I'm too willing to settle for what I think I can get. Trouble is, there's that other extreme scenario that's as much a trap, as you note.
