GJ - They never were active...more like contemplative monks. Synod Pope Gurgel showed up to say "Boo!" and they went into hiding, locking the door, for fear of the news.

I was hoping they would post their Tendrils paper on their site. If someone has a Word copy of it, or a PDF, please send it so I can share it with the public.

Positive Side of Bank Bailout

No papers, but a bulwark of the economy - Precious.

Last year I made a Ninja loan to Precious, our Shetland Sheepdog. A Ninja loan means No Income, No Job - Accepted!

Now Precious has defaulted on this $10 million loan. No problem. I am going to sell it to the federal government. I will even accept a slight discount on it. Otherwise I would be unable to do business.

Mrs Ichabod wants to know how the banks passed a law to make it difficult for an individual to declare bankruptcy, but they now want laws to make it impossible for banks to become bankrupt.

I said, "Just as De Tocqueville warned, they learned they could vote themselves money in a democracy."

Thomas Jefferson: On Banks

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
