    I don't value your opinions, so here is no real point in you giving yours.
    They are a Northern Rock and a Bradford and Bingley as far as I am concerned.

    There are plenty of nefarious things that are also "part of the market game".

    That doesn't mean that a civilised society should openly tolerate them..

    Car bombings to create market instability, any one? Terrorist attacks on rival plant and infrastructure? Assassination of non-compliant political leaders? Rampant speculation leading to food price hyperinflation leading to genocidal starvation?

    All part of the market game, eh?! Most would call it fascist..
    Ah, right, so we should add short sellers to the hit list for the war on terror. Funny how a crisis always opens the closet door to let the fanatics out to play.
    Hope for the best.....Plan for the worst!
