banking havens everywhere and to the wealth that is sitting in them like so much body fat on the morbidly obese -- never being used for anything productive.

I think we are reaching a point at which enough people can see that the imbalance in our economy is harming us -- stifling the very creativity and innovation that capitalism is supposed to foster.

So, everything depends on how many people can be brought to view things not necessarily my way but in a balanced way -- to understand that economics is a matter of interaction and flow and not of having and keeping.

More and more people are beginning to understand this thanks to the internet and our ability to crunch numbers and look at our neighbors and at strangers almost at the same time. So I am optimistic that something better, more effective than Dodd-Frank can come about.

Something a lot less wedded to the status quo.
