In the news lately there have been 2 items that are eerily similar.  On one side there is the banking crisis and on the other there is Mugabe.  Say what?  
Look at Mugabe.  They were talking about him running his country into the ground and, while the people are starving, he is throwing lavish parties for himself without regard or apparent awareness of what is happening to everyone else.  Doesn't that sound like the same basic principles operating in the other situation?  
The CEOs at the big banks are sucking all the money out of the system, charging loan-shark interest rates and throwing lavish get-aways for themselves and friends while the country is tanking.  They don't seem to understand the condition of the country either.  They are living in their own world, while the country is in another, seemingly disconnected from them.
Another thing to think about is that our government is condemning Mugabe for his behavior while apparently excusing and even rewarding the bankers for theirs.  Here again, they are applying 2 separate standards of judgment.  When "they" do it, it is a crime against the country and humanity, but when their friends and fellow elites do it, they need to figure out how to bail them out because they are so valuable and deserving  As David Shuster says, "That's hypocracy and it's wrong."
