Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Newly2b]

I was idly playing today with thoughts of how much my concept of the banker has morphed over the years from seeing him as a respected professional to the mustache-twirling villain foreclosing on the mortgage and tying the heroine up on the railroad tracks. I'm beginning to understand the mentality that took over the country during the Great Depression, a time where most everyone was denuded of their goods to the very point of starvation, and when that didn't suffice to finish us all off, they created a world war and shipped us off to fight it.

Still, you can't keep a good people down, and we bounced back into the affluent '50's, the rebellious '60's, the inflationary '70's, the complacent '80's, the overheated (forget-what-happened-in-the-past-and-let's-all-make-money) '90's, the teetering-on-the-brink 2000's, and now we are just at the very beginning of the here-comes-reality-right-up-in-yer-face period. I wonder if we will have enough air left to bounce back this time. . .
