Excuse my french but... what a fookin' cheek Diamond has got.
Two years of pubic hate aimed at bankers for their uncontrolled and relentless greed that has placed us all in debt bondage for probably the next 30 years or more, and he wants to get back to "business as usual".
Well, they can't void their responsibility, and we shouldn't let him even try.
If he succeeds, and we fail in this endeavour, we'll just suffer another revisitation of the same plundering vampires in a decade or so.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
