Ah, ok.  If you haven&#039;t guessed yet, it&#039;s Elliot Spitzer.  I always thought something was a little fishy about the way he was targeted by his own law, and one that&#039;s designed to protect johns while going after traffickers.  It was pure political assassination - the only thing I didn&#039;t get was the motive.</description>

		<description>bs,

Your dissertation was interesting but the scheme has been around much longer and in many different forms than just what your &quot;ES&quot; discloses.  Most of us know it as a Ponzi or pyramid scheme.  A prime example is our credit crisis of today and the other schemes you mention.  There is no solution nor any preventative until you can remove greed from the human make-up.  There will always be somebody who tries to get something from nothing.  The most striking example today is the Republicans trying to get reason and logic out of the heads of McLiar and Ms Pinocchio.  One is all POW with no power and the other is all pad and no flow.</description>
