Wall St. & Pornography

How convenient. Let's not blame the MANY years of turning a blind eye to big business corruption, which went on under a number of Presidents. Why, this is almost as outrageous as Janet Jackson's nipple!

I don't remember this big outrage about people obsessed with pornographic material when that very pornographic "Starr Report" was scoured over by the press and the Republicans.

Yet isn't it completely outrageous (eight hours a day?!), hilarious, hysterical and really disturbing?!

I mean, of cooourse employees watch porn, d'oh. But quite in these quantities, with this obsession? I'm not sure they blame it on porn at all, I didn't get it as: The crisis wasn't avoided because people were obsessed with porn. It's just that... The scale of it all is kind of concerning.

It's definitely ridiculous and inappropriate at the workplace, but the question is, if they had a job to do, would they even have time to be doing any of that stuff? When was the last time Wall Street was regulated by the government? For many years now all we have heard is that let Wall Street do its own thing, big business needs to be unrestricted, then everyone will benefit. That's what the government has done.

It was really the other way around always, wasn't it? Wall Street extending its tentacles all the way to the White House and beyond?

As for Did they have a job to do? That is an interesting one because I can reply both ways. They did and they didn't. And then the whole thing just extends to a plethora of other issues.
