A friend of mine (who used to work for the SEC) said that the government was like a mountain. It rarely moved, but when it did, there was no stopping it.

- epoxyhockey 16y agoExactly. This story is more about finding yourself on the receiving end of the Federal government. It is a humbling experience to find yourself with several government employees working 8 hours a day against you.
- irons 16y agoIt's an interesting perspective, but some people deserve to have the weight of the government applied to them, whether or not they think it's just. Fearmongering about the Consumer Financial Protection Agency from a guy whose company was misappropriating its customers' banking information should generate as much sympathy as John Dillinger's getaway driver bemoaning the cops' ability to buy fast cars.
