This turn is very well done. It's interesting that this meme, 'Nevermore', is about, it mirrors a conversation I was having with a friend of mine, over the weekend. This poem is a good example of what I've noted, earlier, 'Wall St.' is filled with many, tremendous, talents. They, just, need to come home and help us build, and re-build our Institutions and Infrastructures. For, certainly, if we don't, all, lend a shoulder, surely, what was, will be "Nevermore"..

Bernanke reminds me of George C. Scott in the film Patton, when he says he has waited all his life to be in WWII. Put yourself in Bernanke's shoes...he must think he was born to lead the Fed in this one moment of time. And I think he lacks the common sense to lead us through this. He is no Paul Volcker. I am very afraid his actions here will cause permanent harm. Karen,
