#1 Between the court ruling and the Obama Administration’s push for stronger fiduciary rules sends a strong message that government can easily seize the pension fund management industry, of course to “protect the consumer”.

As most here are aware, it really isn't about "protection" but rather control. Have a look at what has happened to the nation's banking industry and the near total vaporization of interest and earnings rates.

They [our gov't masters] desperately want our private pension programs. Our programs are their only salvation, as their plans continue to fail miserably. Control via endless regulatory mechanisms is the key. The eventual epic fail of 'all' plans would only be fair, and what an excellent way to eliminate privilege, enforce universal poverty and government dependence.

#3 No. It is the leather vests. Ban the vests and those people won't kill each other!

#4 Darth, you're close, but it's not the vests; it is the embroidery ON the vests that is the problem!

#5 Bagh! Its the dreaded Dihydrogen monoxide again.

After all all murders, rapist, robbers, and politicans are dihydrogen monoxide junkies.

#6 but it's not the vests; it is the embroidery ON the vests

No, it's the sleeves. Or rather the lack of thereof. I know about the right to bare arms, but come on, people!

#7 Waco's main lesson for me was not to go around dressed like the Village People.
