However, I wonder why there has been no one from Wall Street or the White House who would apologize to the American people or even to the global community for the horrible financial mess we are now facing - someone who would have the guts to stand up and say, "I am sorry for my mishandling, my misjudgment, my negligence."

They see an opportunity for gain, and take it; they are Overmen, perpetually transcending the mundane. Maybe that’s the best reason for bailing the financial industry out: They’re exciting—like modern-day pirates, only better. James M.
