Must-read: Matt Taibbi's Latest Attempt to Wrangle the Vampire Squid. http://bit.ly/l0Xxwc I agree. Why aren't these guys going to jail?—@timoreilly
@timoreilly because they're rich, Tim.—@ndw
@ndw @timoreilly the three of us are rich, too - much of North American middle class is well into the top 1% worldwide, I'd suspect.—@david_megginson
@david_megginson @timoreilly true. And I don't take that lightly. But not that rich. Not bribe my way past the Justice dep't rich.—@ndw
@ndw @timoreilly true, but a middle-class professional is definitely handled-gently-by-police-&-courts, afford-bail-and-proper-lawyer rich.—@david_megginson

@ndw @timoreilly sorry, not personal - just frustrated by the class-warfare rhetoric in US ...—@david_megginson

@ndw @timoreilly .. gov'ts that let rich off are elected. In Democracy, ultimate responsibility lies with people - no scapegoats.—@david_megginson
@david_megginson I think you'd best come live across the border for a while. Don't think you quite fathom divides.—@simonstl
@simonstl Inequality is serious, but we shouldn't encourage other countries to embrace Democracy if we don't even trust our own voters.—@david_megginson
@david_megginson that's not an answer to my point at all. Unless you want to hear my tirade on why Quebec should have seceded long ago.—@simonstl
@simonstl FWIW, I'm fine with Quebec separating, as long as the process is open & fair. Some dispute about what they'd take with them.—@david_megginson
@david_megginson they should stick you all with their debts for the trouble. ;)—@simonstl

It's going to be a little touchy calling people the day after the Rapture. You don't want to act like you assumed they'd be home.—@ShittingtonUK

Even with data roaming, I couldn't get a connection on the Top of the Rock. No Gibraltar checkin for me on 4sq.—@ndw

To acknowledge and celebrate Rapture Day tomorrow, I suggest we all temporarily set our website return statuses to 410 Gone.—@jasnell
