Alternative Tip for the Mute Feature
Some of you may have already thought of this, but reading the chat history just got a whole lot easier. Particularly in public press, muting everyone but the person you want to read makes life a lot easier.

Can anything be done against someone?
Who seems to play a lot of games with Friends. I believe they are different people but always seem to work together. Not going to post the people, I just want to know if there can be anything done. If people just work together in every game then that screws over everyone else.

Happy Barbeque, Baseball, and Beer Day (Oh, and It's Also Independence Day)
Well, technically, I still have 2 hours and 4 minutes before I'm "independent," so I guess I'm British for the next two hours--well, I wanted tea anyway, alright--so, yeah...but I'm already hearing fireworks, and it's time on the East Coast, so why not...

Happy Independence Day Everyone! A (Apologies to everyone across the Pond...) :p

Age of Greed: The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America, 1970 to the Present
I haven't yet read the eponymous book, however, there is an excellent review of it in this month's New York Review of Books. A very coherent argument is put that it is indeed greedy bankers (sensu lato) who have chiefly got the world in this financial mess and much else besides. Moreover, those who blame various foreigners and their companies for the mess America is in are barking up the wrong tree.

If bankers are greedy then why did we need the Community Reinvestment Act to establish quotas for writing subprime loans in underrepresented neighborhoods?
If the subpriime loans were profitable then "greedy" bankers would have been jumping through hoops to make money.
That's all greedy bankers are about.
If subprime loans weren't profitable because the neighborhoods were high crime and low income and had good chances of home values decreasing then the greedy bankers wouldn't write loans there.
Yet the Community Reinvestment Act forced bankers to write loans there.
In addition Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were deregulated to the point that they could buy up all those subprime loans demanded by the Community Reinvestment Act so the banks books could be cleared, and the regulators could force the banks to write more subprime loans.

Excellent topic Fulhamish.
In addition to "The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America" I would suggest also reading "Reckless Endangerment."

Question regarding to winning
Do you win instantly when your troops touchdown on that 18th center or do you need to hold it until after the fall turn?

In the one game that I've won so far, I gained the 18th on the fall turn, yet this one guy who lost his last center was not eliminated, but survived with 0 SC, 1 unit.
