Thought you'd find this one interesting.

Drawing pictures has always helped me. Not a bad explanation.

I thought the use of champagne bottle and the pressure building up in the bottle, the uncorking, champagne glasses and the silver tray were interesting and symbolic of "what went wrong". Tongue in cheek humor.

Re: 60 Minutes Take on Mortgage Crisis.

Thanks, Tony. I missed seeing that last night. It really does tell the whole sordid story, doesn't it. The DOW is at 9500 this afternoon--there is a global economic meltdown going on.
It appears that we (the US) have managed to damage the worldwide economic system as badly as we damaged the environment. Shame on us!
