<<So, get back to me when there's an actual crime, much less "rape". Then we can start discussing your currently debunked analogy, with some remote semblance of seriousness>>
seriousness?
You mean, seriousness as in, "Although Lehman Bros. and Goldman Sachs made billions by packaging and selling shit bonds to whoever would buy them INCLUDING THEIR OWN CLIENTS, and AIG issued what were effectively insurance policies against default on bonds which didn't even have documentation of homeowners' ability to repay in many cases, and primary lenders created mortgages that could appeal only to the impecunious, for resale with triple-A ratings to other investors up-stream, 51 state and federal agencies now investigating the entire series of transactions will not be able to find evidence of any criminal acts such as, for example, fraud?"
Or, do you mean, seriousness as in, it's OK if no laws were broken in any of the above shenanigans even if they cost the life savings and/or pensions of millions of innocent Americans because none of that activity SHOULD be criminalized, since it's part of our freedom as Americans to be free to be ripped off by complex financial transactions designed to benefit the richest of the rich at the expense of the rest of America?
I can see that you're a very "serious" guy, sirs. The problem, as always with you, is in the definition of the words you like to throw around - - what you like to call seriousness, most other folks would probably refer to as extreme stupidity or perhaps even insanity.
