Late last night there was a snippet on the Ticker about Bank of America being Bailed out for Billions by the Treasury, and I am confused, because I thought they were solid and had BOUGHT Washington Mutual ? And the articles said it was to help with their troubled assets, but I suspect that is NOT Mortgages and Homes on the line?

Read the quote below that Martin Luther King wrote about Vietnam....but it is about War, and can easily apply to Iraq...
"Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now. I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of Vietnam.I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. I speakfor the poor in America who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in Vietnam. Ispeak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. I speak as an American to theleaders of my own nation. The great initiative in this war is ours. The initiative to stop it must be ours."
Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, 1967.
