Don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just trying to help -- but a lot of the comments on the banking system I'm getting are...
1. Outdated. 2. Simplistic. 3. Naive.

4. Toxic is inaccurate. 5. Solvent banks must be created out of the insolvent ones. It *will* happen. 6. God knows what they're waiting for.
