• 12:09 Prof. Paul Nadler commentary by Skip Blumberg. Nadler explains how bank loans have changed with the existence of fixed interest rates. "Savings and loans started as a family financial center. You brought in your deposits and they'd make mortgage loans. It used to be what you'd call a 3-6-3 business. They'd take your money at 3, they'd lend it back to you at 6, they'd be on the golf course by 3. It didn't take much talent to run a savings and loan. Basically where the money went - they were paying it out, paying it out and not earning it. They refused to admit they were dead, making it the biggest scandal in American financial history. "

He's on my side for a change. To share that wealth is to share power. When you start talking that way, pal, they put you up against the wall."

The corporate executives of the world are holding us all hostage. If somebody came into your home and pointed a gun at your children, you would act. Don't you feel that desperation that we feel?"

• 37:12 Todd Alcott by Skip Blumberg. 90's regular Todd Alcott rants. "It used to be if you needed furniture you made furniture. Everybody had the skills they needed to survive. No one makes things anymore, they have jobs. They work at an office...not to produce a thing, but to make money to buy things. We're disassociated from our own possessions. Can you make a shirt? I can't. We have no connection to things and how they're made. Consequently we have no connection to each other. Money has become the fifth element. It can cancel out the other four because it can take their place at any moment. You don't need to tame fire anymore. You just need to pay your gas bill. The Indians used to think the earth was sacred. It was holy. Anyone will tell you today that it 's just capital waiting to be exploited. The whole planet is a business, Earth Inc. Assets 48 kazillion dollars. What is that?!! Is that a reason for opening your eyes in the morning?..."

Why shouldn't the ballplayer get the dough rather than two guys sitting in a skybox somewhere?"
