Is there anything today that differs? You can
add tattoo to the piercing, but I believe that lack of common sense showed in
the late 90s with the stock markets rally and the same is going on now with this
sell off. There is very little common sense shown when fear or greed rule
and ones ego gets in the way. When there is no consequence for ones
criminal actions. Why does a person that shop lifts a couple hundred
dollars in goods get 5 years and someone who steals billions gets away
Scot free. So a past writing or not, it seems to be pertinent at this time
also
