This entire mess is making me sick. We've all been "taken" and boy do I feel really stupid. Not that I could have done anything. Hindsight is 20/20!

I need to step away from this situation before I grab a gun and head for Capitol Hill. Just kidding of course, but boy do I feel we are all being taken to the cleaners. Why the hell weren't these "derivatives" being regulated? Was Greenspan in charge then?
