Banking used to be a very heavily regulated industry. During the Nixon Adminstration a report was created for congress (Hunt Report) suggesting how the banking industry should be changed to have freedom to move into different areas.

Since the financial industry received "more freedom" we have seen the S&L problems, ( based on combining multiple un-profitable companies into one and saying that they are profitable (called goodwill), we have seen Enron, sub-prime lending out of control and others that escape me now.

The common thread on all, government bail out..."Help me".

Should regulations be put back in place? It seems like this is an industry that can't manage itself....

These are some fun things to do in an Elevator...
1.Pretend you are a Flight Attendant and give safety procedures to other passengers.

2.Sit with a desk, pencil cup and a telephone in the elevator. When someone walks in, ask if they have an appointment.

3.Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: "Got enough air in there?"

4.Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce " Ive got new socks on!"

5.Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you "Admiral".

If you give me enough stars Ill come back for Walmart fun stuff!

I eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner but I can never manage to say no to a little bit of chocolate. I workout almost daily and I can't help but have some. I've already cut out: milk, sodas, chips et cetera but it's almost impossible for me to stop eating chocolate. Any suggestions? Lately I've just been getting a palmful or two of chocolate covered coffee grounds. Is that going to effect my diet that much?

I have gotten prescriptions for antidepressants and ADHD meds in the past from GPs, but I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, if you have already been diagnosed with a mental disorder by a qualified professional, it's handy to be able to get a prescription from a GP you already know and trust. However, I can't help but think that GPs usually specialize in physical ailments rather than psychological ones, so I wonder how often GPs prescribe the wrong psychiatric medication to their patients.

I filled out the FAFSA and they say I don't qualify for any grant money. My husband put my name and email into this website www.usgrantfunding.com and they called me. I answered a few questions and the guy told me I qualify for $26,000 for 3 years of school. He spent a good while talking about the company and how it works, being a "middleman" like H&R block is for taxes. Saying that they charge 1% of whatever I can get in the grant. Which is $260 in my case but they won't start anything until that is sent in a money order to an adderess in Delaware. I happen to be a fraud mans christmas present I am so gullible. Luckily I have friends who aren't. He says his name is Tiger Johnson and the phone number is 1-302-269-7649 ext. 4012. He never asked for my adderess. Does anybody know about this company and or scam. I mean if it's real, which I wish it was someone please help me figure out what to do.

My mormon friend claims that in the Bible, there is a verse that foretells about the book of mormon. I say there's not. I have read the book of mormon, and it contradicts it self and the Bible, so it can't be right. Nevertheless, I am asking. Is there such a verse?

let me make it clear. I AM NOT A RACIST. i am an immigrant from Nigeria i speak a different language too(well, a little) and i belive in every single thing America stands for. But i sorta think there should be a limit to diversity.
They have also opposed building a boarder fence because it "Disrupts the ecosystem of the of the wild animals that live in the desert", and thats where this story come
(You have to read this to understand what I am saying. This article came out today)
http://washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071126/NATION/111260034/1001

recently, thanks to the ACLU, there have been sparks of racism. look at this. Last month, the Salvation army fired some undocumented mexicans workers because they couldnt speak english, therefore cant really help. HOWEVER guess who came to the rescue?? oh yes, the ACLU. despite the fact that the founder Roger Baldwin of the ACLU was a communist and founded the union based on soviet-like agendas. i think its only a matter of time before Americans gets over dependent on the ACLU to tell them when their rights are violated, then the communism inspired organization whips out its own agenda.
in a democrat debate a few months ago, the democrats all said that they support America becoming a Bi-lingual nation. if america stands for equality, then what about the arabic, african, dutch, chinese immigrants that have to learn english to survive here in America?
