Alan Greenspan, in congressional hearings today, had a shocking revelation!

Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder’s equity (myself especially) are in a state of shocked disbelief.

But! But! The Invisible Hand! The Majesty and Power of the Free Market! How could the idea that increasing profit was the only relevant benchmark have failed us so?
My world view is shattered. It's like somebody told me that a flame thrower wasn't a good babysitter, or that ground glass was not a nutritious snack.

I am learning the mysteries of the iThing. EarthPig very thoughtfully loaned me his, and I'm finding out things like how to turn it off, or how to use iTunes to put files on the hard drive (my other mp3 player just used 'My Computer'), or how to get iTunes to *see* the iThing and speak to it.

I'm hoping the learning curve is short because I'm tired of feeling like an idiot about something that everybody else in the world already knows and that babies are born with an innate knowledge of.

Note to self:
If you have a lock labelled 'Not Danny', and it's for the purpose of posting things that you don't want Danny to see, then you probably should be certain that Danny is not on that lock.
