Lately the pundits have been telling us all to "chill out" regarding our sensitivity and reactions to the tremendously volatile financial market. You see, we common people don't have the expertise to understand or interpret the events that are unfolding. Sure, we're watching our 401K plans become more worthless by the day, our banks on the verge of kicking the bucket, and the prices of everything rising relative to our wages. But that doesn't mean we have the right to get upset and ask questions. My friends, we all need to chill out. Because if we chill out and stop trying to save ourselves, then the powers-that-be in the high falutin' glass towers of Wall Street and the halls of the White House can make better decisions about how they are going to finish fleecing us.
