Busted



Every now and then something comes up that reminds us we are after all human. After all the noise after the concluded elections everyone had an opinion of what actually went down. What amuses me is the idea that you can publicly express an opinion and in the name of human rights (one's right to say what he/she wants to say) and not expect to be challenge. Once one has an audience there is a duty of care - atleast I think so.

Politics has an effect on me - and I don't think it is positive (why can't just ignore the more them?)

Eliot Spitzer ("Sheriff of Wall Street") seems to have issues too. The Governor has been caught up in a prostituition scandal - and it is not something that happened long time ago.

Aren't we all human? I'm not sure whether to feel sorry for him or his wife and family.

"This is why people lose faith in government. But I guess it shows that he’s human like everybody else.” a lobbyist

Something for the Republicans to shout about - for once it is not one of their own. And Wall street business leaders must be rejoicing - after all he is one of them, he is human.

By the way what is happenning at the Capital Markets Authority? A toothless dog. I must say the NSE really scares me. I have always maintained you need alot of faith to put your money there. Of course if you work in that industry or have some influence on your broker it is a different matter. The situation might not be very critical but the press has regular negative stories something ain't right.

It is a beautiful windy day but otherwose live up to the standard you expect of others. I will try to do my part.
