dammit, I missed the segment??? :( I had it on ABC muted, waiting to see if Stossel did a piece this week but must've missed it while I was reading some Robert Higgs (http://www.independent.org/pdf/working_papers/58_government.pdf).

I was watching this at a sports bar tonight. I couldnt hear it, or read their lips but it looked like a great ep. of 20/20.

At one point Barney Frank was being interviewed by stossel, and John looked like he was pissed right off. Also, at one point in the show, john was just throwing federal reserve notes down on a table like crazy, as if he was implying that they are worthless. He was clearly ranting, and was clearly motivated by this issue

I can't wait to catch the full segment with sound whenever it's available :cool:

the images of him outside the banks with a megaphone are priceless!

wonder if we can take advantage of the symbol - make the megaphone
a symbol of the total lack of accountability of government. as if to say:

HEY! government, can you hear us? obviously not -- throw out the rascals!
