My point I tried to make over at US NEWS today is that this sort of thing has happened before, maybe not as outrageous, but it is not new….this outlandish greed program and acting all above the law crap,… it’s been happening for a long time, even before teapot had a dome.

How do we as a society fix it or do we?

The first thing to do, I suggest, is punish them fast and aggressively. Yeah, they are innocent until proven guilty. But just maybe we should teach some important lessons here, Is branding illegal? I am thinking a big G…for greed…right on their forehead. Except for the Guv: Give him a crew cut with a G in his hairline, forever.

After the punishment phase is over…what can we do to make sure this does not happen even more in the future? (read the USNEWS piece, too)
