Dear Carl: Your article in the Daily News on November 9th was excellent. Having some experience with corporate boards and corporate responsibility, I affirm your judgment. What a perfect time for the relevant authorities to look at the question, understand it, and do something about it. Many thanks for your efforts. Bill vanden Heuvel

THEY ARE TRYING TO END DIVIDENDS. THIS WILL CAUSE MORE INVESTORS TO STRAY AWAY FROM MARKETS. WHO IS THE GENIUS IN CHARGE OF THESE MOVES? WE NEED CHANGE NOW NOT IN TWO MONTHS, TOO MANY RADICAL IDEAS WHICH ARE NOT PROFITABLE AT ALL. I WOULD NOT INVEST IN THE GOVT. RIGHT NOW IN TIME, WE NEED NEW INNOVATIVE MINDS THAT CAN BRAINSTORM MORE FLEXIBLE AND EFFECIENT LAWS. EVEN IF THERE WERE IDEAS POURING INTO NOTABLE FIGURES EMAILS, THEY WOULD STILL REFRAIN FROM WHAT IS THE TRUE SOLUTION TO THIS MESS.

Travis is correct, especially in the area of good ideas not being noticed by powers that be. We need a new system that collects, refines and offers ideas for implementation in the form that's digestible by those who can implement those ideas. Rattling on blogs or signing petitions is not enough. I have an idea as to how to make such a system that would make all minds envolved flexible and constantly brainstorming, but without an audience capable of acting on it it too will become mere rattling.
