not only greed, but laziness, stupidity, irrationality, lust for power, and the federal government in general.

Just rip off the bandaid in one go...stop trying to worry it off bit by bit. It hurts a lot less if you just give it a good yank!

That's assuming that most people retain at least some confidence in the basic underpinnings of our society.

If that assumption is false, well, your guess is as good as mine.
Lets all be measured and calm. Now the people's voice has been heard we should not lend ourselves to panic in the face of this crisis.
