Th current "financial crisis" is a hard beast to get a hold of, see !kings 18.16ff fr the Elijah reference.
greed and fear, fear and greed we’ll have a bailout please as the market goes rolling along high words, empty words: liquidity, sub-prime, margin, leverage, free market intoned to soothe the suckers all the high, and empty words boil down to two fear and greed high words, empty words: melt down, bailout, equity position. klaxon keened to freeze rational thought and give scope for fear and greed. fear and greed, greed and fear never, ever satisfied as those markets go rolling along high words, empty words: recession, depression, the end of the world as we know it. ‘Tis but the chant of the high Prophets of Mammon, circling their altars emploring their Baal to light the fire and to consume their tax deductible offering while standing by Elijah mocks, and sharpens his sword

Hello John,

These are words full of meaning, and impact. Lives have been lost because of the greed of many, and some are "still falling down."

"Those who love money never have money enough, and those who love wealth are never satisfied with their income."
(Ecclesiastes 5:10)
