What about S&Ls?

The nifty thing after deregulation was that they could (IIRC) make the risky high-return gambles, and just let the FSLIC take the hit if it didn't work. High reward, externalized risk. ---- "You don't have to be right - just use bolded upper case" - annon.

The average hunter gatherer works 20 hours a week. The average farmer works 40 hours a week. The average programmer works 60 hours a week. What the hell are we thinking?

Hey let's see if the Florida voting was influenced in any way by Dubya's brother who was the Gov there when the voting took place. If you just drudge up some Florida swamps, you might find the missing voting ballots that didn't get counted. ;) "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
