Falling dow(n)

Citat från ett öppet brev till Bernard Madoff:

"The real cause of our financial meltdown is too nuanced, too impossible to cause total agreement across the country. You, however, were different. You gave us an easy target—a man who was selfish, greedy, and indiscriminate in his destruction. You offered an outlet for our frustration, and now your life sentence gives us a small piece of justice to cling to in these dark, hopeless days of the recession. You were our catharsis. That the Dow jumped 380 points—5.8 percent—on the day you pleaded guilty is surely coincidental, but I choose to see it as a collective rallying cry: You may take away our retirement funds, but you will never take our financial freedom!"
