"We can't improve ourselves" - Alan Greenspan
Wow.

What does that say about Mr. Greenspan's belief system?

Cynicism is one of the greatest vehicles for those in power to remain in power.

I'll give kudos to Jon Stewart for atleast asking some valid questions.

1. Surely we can try and make the attempt anyway?

3. So those of us of pre-retirement age should withdraw as much of our
401K as possible (damn the taxes!), quit our jobs, and enjoy life as long as we can, because, obviously, we're doomed as Mr. Greenspan said.

I'm still not sure whether to remain tethered to conformity or not.
