Without sugar-coating, the white stuff we inhaled as kids, in excess, takes a toll far more toxic than cavities.

It is now re-election time, and Occupy Wall Street has shown simmering anger among the population. So the president creates a task force to look into financial crimes. A week later, several bankers are arrested. They're low level patsies, who worked for a Swiss bank, and who didn't create or sell the toxic stuff; they just traded it afterwards. And the task force? Its initial personnel: a whopping 15 people in the Justice Department, and ten -- count them, ten -- FBI agents. Goldman Sachs has 32,000 employees, there are several thousand financial industry lobbyists, the FBI has a total of 14,000 agents -- but hey, I'm sure that those ten agents are the very best.
