I guess the firewall had better be put in place,
otherwise the rest of the world may do a foot and mouth disease type impoundment, and sacrifice all those infected within the Protection Zone.

They are dumb like you with their neo liberal BS. what Firewall. You're an idiot. What should happen is simple. Geithner should stfu and we the people in the US and Europe should push to let the banks fail. They gambled, they lost, it's not our debt but theirs and they should fail. Don't give me that BS that we need to them for our economy. No we don't, though we need banks. Let them fail and other banks with healthy balance sheets will pick it up. That's capitalism.
