To Bailout or not?

I have always wondered why people believe in God... It's a beautiful idea on the surface - but makes absolutely no sense if you look at it in any depth. When I speak to many believers, I get the feeling that it is a combination of fear and hope. Fear of not having someone to look after - or some sense of absolute right and wrong - and hope in something external.

The bailout is the same deal. Every one is afraid and wants "something" done! Whatever it may be. Everyone has "faith" in the government / economists / pick an authority figure...and everyone is Hoping it will fix something.

Hope and change! That's where it's at... but I don't buy it for a second. It's a tempting idea - but rewarding people for their mistakes just doesn't sit right with me.
