Educating Yourself On This Financial Crisis

nospam@example.com (Chris) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:07:32 -0500

If you are interested in educating yourself on the financial crisis happening in the United States (especially if you are an American citizen), I have put together a list of websites and podcasts to help you piece together the puzzle. Normally I wouldn't comment but I feel as though I'm watching my country being flushed down the toilet by corporations and the corrupt individuals running them. I plead with you to put down the paper, turn off the TV, turn off the radio, and think about what is happening in this country. Read world history (specifically the rise and fall of Rome), and read US history. Read the Constitution.

Remember: absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the root of all evil is money.

For my initial experiment I was able to print Stockchart's Chart School without having to go page by page. Check it out!
