Americans seethe as banks hit them with new fees | Personal Finance | Financial Post
Banking services do cost money and to give Bank of America the benefit of the doubt, it appears this to be a reaction about even more regulatory charges from the US government on banks and other financial institutions.

But we also complained when the CEO and other high senior management in these banks and other financial institutions got away with surviving in the midst of their incompetence because it was the government who bailed them out with taxpayers money and their future of course. And then again, the other factor is also around, about how the contaminated sub-prime mortgages were forced by laws instituted over a decade ago and which build the bubble that could nothing but burst, of course, at the precise time where the collectivist incompetent in chief needed to be 'suggested' as the solution of solutions through collectivism of course. But all of this calls more for the separation of government and business rather than for asking the government to put yet one more of its filthy fingers into the economy. Banks need to be regulated so that the people can build their trust on the system, but it becomes very corrupted when that trust needs to become a vehicle of tyranny and despotism of the government and their friendly banker close to you.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
