I hesitated to use the word 'innocent' but could think of nothing better. Was I 'innocent' in selling all that real estate in 2003? All I can say is I didn't choose nor cause nor want the bubbles. But innocent?
Still I think my comment has merit. The businesses lost, the savings lost, the entrepreneurial creations lost, the bureaucratic inefficiencies ADDED are the legacy of what has been done. The legacy goes on and on. Nothing even seems learned. Such horrific waste.
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men. -Napoleon
