Please, please don’t let the facts get in the way of my beliefs. They just make life so inconvenient. After all, they said it on TV, didn’t they? It has to be true.Just a carry-over from yesterday and our comments about shoplifters. We all know what is meant when it is said that someone claims to be racially profiled or if they play the race card. Sure we do. Thieves and thugs. But. (There’s always a “but.”) But let’s not forget the money, the bottom line. Let’s not forget the names of some really big thieves and thugs that make ordinary shoplifters look like pikers. Names like AIG, Enron, Arthur Andersen, Lehman Bros., Bernie Madoff, R. Allen Stanford, and those are just the ones who got caught. The better thieves were the ones who didn’t get caught, like Goldman Sachs, and the galaxy of hedge fund managers. These (unracial) guys ruined many thousands of lives and stole close to a trillion dollars. Now that’s some big-league thievery!
