| Bankers With Guns |

| “I just wrote my first reference for a gun permit,” said a friend, who told me of swearing to the good character of a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker who applied to the local police for a permit to buy a pistol. The banker had told this friend of mine that senior Goldman people have loaded up on firearms and are now equipped to defend themselves if there is a populist uprising against the bank. |

| #6 If there's a general breakdown of order such as they fear, for the most part they'll be extracting the smokeless powder from their cartridges to start fires with to keep warm. |

| #4 ...for a permit to buy a pistol....if there is a populist uprising against the bank. Well, I guess it'll work if you want to save the last bullet for yourself. However, I think the populi will be armed with something bigger and with longer range than a pistol. Unlike the patrician class, the populi have those in their ranks that know how to operate in fire teams and small unit tactics for which an individual pistol ain't going to help you and your likes much. |

| #2 Hm, why would that be? Why would the public rise up against Goldman and want to kill bankers? They haven't done anything that I know of. |
