"Deregulation" refers to a rollback of regulation (which undoubtedly did happen), not an utter absence of regulation.

What you may seek is even more regulation -- or a rewording of the ever shifting regulations -- or even a reining in of the requirements to lend money to people who can't pay it back. You might well be against for for TARP or the Frank-Dodd Financial Services bill -- but to say Wall Street is "deregulated" is, um, folly. I do find, however, that while Rights for Gays are wonderful on gay stuff, when it comes to economics they and you are woefully under=informed. So, you are not alone, fear not.

Clear, concise, and comprehensible. Previously, I had only a vague inkling of the layers - but now can start to appreciate the true depth of the rabbit hole. Thanks for the "red pill". The lack of criminal prosecution is galling and reprehensible. I appreciate your efforts and those of the members of BTB to help provide accessible explication; You are facilitating understanding, outrage, and hopefully calls for accountability and change. Jaime Rob,
