IMHO, lack of common sense and greed.

Absolutely, add in all the feel good by "helping" other people out irresponsibly (of course, redistributing other people's dough to do it) and we have a perfect storm of crappola...

Plenty of blame to go around folks, from the greedy to politicians to the criminal to the people with their hands out all the time. It doesn't help either that we as a nation have became spend-happy.

We'll get through it because we are Americans and we always fight adversary and somehow prevail but how much will we learn from it?

a little off topic but....

i just watched the hurricane of 1938 ....major destruction on the history channel, and was amazed watchin these two guys whacking a roof with a sledgehammer ...here in new england....

but the narrator was saying essentially the same thing.... did we learn anything from that storm....?

Really what we needed to learn was how mother nature can just decide to whip the crap out of us all anytime she wants too... and we have forgotten.

all the construction on the shore line .......
....may be all swept away in one horrific storm...
the perfect storm... like you said..

it's from events that huge that we tend to learn.
