        Two stories in the news caught my attention partly because of their similarity and their differences.


First Story:

Second Story:

        The great thing about both of these stories is, they are both white collar crimes that have been prosecuted and convictions won. That's the similarity. That's actually a great happening, I believe more stories like these two would garner a greater respect for the government, especially if trials where going after politicians, there would also be a increase in viewers of MSM news shows and readership of newspapers. All of these would lead to a greater sense, by the individual, that they were important and would naturally instill a greater pride with a corresponding  rise in hope and moral compass. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.

      The differences, aside from being different countries, I know thats important, however, I don't see that as being as important as the victims. In S. Korea the victim was the government, and the criminal is described as a powerful businessman. Now since I believe world wide most politicians have been bought off by powerful businessmen. It was a friend being publicly humiliated in court. Hence the short jail sentence that was suspended. While the fine was high enough to discourage others from doing the same, it most likely didn't change his or his families way of life.  


      In the second story, Peralman is described as a swindler, making him a unsuccessful businessman. The victims in the second story are different also. Banks and investors. The investors I know nothing about, other than they had enough money to invest and they must have expected some sort of return. The banks on the other hand I know a little about, they print money when needed for loans. Most of the time it is done just by accounting in some ones account. Banking has become so profitable its shameful, all new money is created as someone's debt, the fractional reserve system doesn't require the money being lent out to actually be on deposit. Well not most of it anyway, a small fraction yes. but most of it if just created out of thin air and keystrokes on a computer. Blah, Blah Blah, Blah Blah. The banks own more politicians and powerful businessmen than governments hence the difference in the penalties. Twenty five years and a 300 million dollars fine. 

      A successful businessman vs the government, small penalty.      
      A unsuccessful swindler vs the banks, he'll die in jail and have no estate left to will to his heirs.  

      Lesson for me, the banks own the governments. 

   P.S. I tried a whole bunch of times to do the link button thing, couldn't get it right, maybe next time. 
   PSS, I posted this same post in several different sites under different titles and I just felt a need to say some thing extra here in St. Louis. I sadden deeply about the mall shooting and even though I don't know anyone directly involved i ask for your and give my own prayers for those effected. God Bless them all.

      1976 was the year. The news of the day was very similar to today. The price of oil, terrorist, corrupt business and politics. The reality of the world situation is presented in a very clear and entertaining way. Maybe because it is, entertainment, it may have more of a impact, but don't worry it's only a movie. I recommend it highly. 

      I love blogging, both emptying my head, and reading what's in other people heads. There are times, a lot of them, that I wish I had the ability to express myself better. Most of the time I come off bitter and cynical, rarely have I every been able to include humor in a way it's understood. I know very little about computers and the internet. I am so glad that the people who do understand this media tool have made it so simple. Anyway, I recently ran across a couple of bloggers, in the Fox Network that I'd like to share. one is in the Biltmore area, and one is in the St. Louis area. Happy reading.

Patch_W_Adams's Blog.... he has a post in several Fox sites. www.myfoxstl.com/myfox/pages/HomeThis is the blogger from St. Louis, duh.

The other one is from Biltmore, Biltmore where, I don't know.I found him in the comment section of the above mentioned blogger.nativephoenician's Blog

     Generally, I don't just refer to someone else's blog or news article, I prefer to check several different sources, then rattle all the points around in my head and try to combine them into a post that matches my beliefs. I have even criticized or questioned another blogger for never posting his own thoughts and just linking to other published material. For this I apologize, as now I'm doing the same thing, and for the same reasons, to much information and not enough time. For this reason I recommend these two bloggers. If you like politics you'll find these good reading even if you disagree with them.
