Bob Diamond cuts up rough as he quits Barclays | Business | The Guardian

These huge bonuses are not justified in a civilized society so why are we trapped in a system that supports them, even encourages them while shareholders lose value?

Unfair?

Unsustainable capitalist banking system not working!

How the evolution of competition between financial centers is killing banking!

Globe and Mail columnist invites Stephen Harper on a three-day camping trip | OpenFile

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper.
