Sturm & Drang II

Bem
Estou aqui.
E um bocadinho revoltado com a "crise". Fundamentalmente porque tive uma educação superior altamente Liberal, e acreditei realmente... bem, creio que acreditei na bondade fundamental dos principios que me transmitiram. E tambem acreditei na bondade fundamental nos que os transmitiam - Claro, sempre vi avisos, que descontei como sendo alarmistas, achava-lhes piada, mas é só isso.
Mas agora
Acredito mais.

Enfim.
Sucede que li isto, e identifiquei-me:

The shock we’re feeling today is like the shock and rage a wife feels after her husband is arrested on 152 counts of child molestation spanning three decades. How could we not know, when it’s been going on every day, every year, right in front of us?

If we’d cared to look around us at any time since the Reagan Revolution, we’d realize that the CEOs, billionaires and finance stars are behaving no differently today than they have been for nearly three decades. When we look back, what will pain us most is the way we admired the billionaires even as they brought about our ruin, turning them into TV celebrities and magazine-cover heroes, worshipping them like rock stars right up to the end.
