PRICELESS

A protestor with a sense of humor.

ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA - Protesters demand the end of capitalism, the banking industry, and democracy! Reason

Since when have Russians considered themselves a capitalistic democracy?

Why would anyone blame democracy, capitalism and banks when their system doesn't subscribe to these ideologies? Communism Federalism and command economies have problems too.

I get no satisfaction or joy from the Russian people suffering from the economic crisis. Other countries are at a much greater disadvantage than the US. At least we still have food, water and shelter; sadly, shelters are becoming a commodity.

Although blame is nonproductive, greedy government officials and other power whoremongers, with their interference in business and economic regulation, have orchestrated this crisis; all in an effort to dominate anything they don't already control. The perpetrators are getting exactly what they wanted; an inconceivable payoff. They also control the militias that protect them. Yea, I know...I'm a real nutjob.


but, as always, I could be wrong...
