Wall Street: “It’s Not Our Fault” (Updated) 0

Shorter New York Times:

Wall Street says

We just made up whacky investments, seduced the ratings agencies into our velvet-lined handcuffs, ignored due diligence, sold boxes of air for real money, ran Ponzi schemes, drained our employers’ treasuries with fantastickal bonuses to pay for our houses in Greenwich and the Hamptons, and generally gobbled up all the cookies that investors trusted us to protect in our cookie jars.

But, golly gosh gee, Mr. Interlocutor, we had nothing to do with what happened.

It’s not our fault.

Addendum, after Sausage and Eggs:

Words still fail me.

But they didn’t fail John Cole. Or his commenters.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
