if any of us knew exactly who to blame then im sure there would be worldwide lynchings etc. however, the crash was caused by so many, over the entire world, that justice will never be done. just annoys me especialy as there is nothing any of us can do about it! bah

Do you think all the people who might carry some blame know themselves they are to blame? I personally think that you are right, the crash was caused by many over the world, including those ''normal'' people who overextended who might consider themselves too ''small' too ''removed'' and too ''normal'' to have been a contibutary cause.

Exactly. I started questioning if I was 'one of those people'? I don't consider myself to be, but like you say, lots of people might think they are not important enough to have caused the misery of so many millions of others.

Just wanted some warning incase I need to find some protection against the vengeful, karma, voodoo hex that may be about to strike me down.

I know two people, from different places, who were made redundant and are calling it retirement.

Friends in the construction industry are really struggling to get work.

One or two people at our place have been put on shorter hours.

I suppose it depends where your circle of friends falls.

I did know one person but this was doubled today to 2 people.

HOWEVER..... (lies, damn lies and statistics time).... out of those two people, I know one of them got back into work within 2 weeks so the figures don't tell the whole story.
