On some other blogs I read (obsessively, lately), I'm starting to see people calling for a run on the banks. Go down and take out $700.00. Or or $70. Or $7,000. Whatever you can afford. That's what they're saying, not me. The idea is that even though nobody in the country likes this bailout, congress is going to vote for it. Since they won't listen to our calls, faxes and letters, send a message that they cannot ignore.

Frankly, it doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. Sure, it's like burning down your own house to make a point, but it's better than just being robbed at gunpoint with no protest at all.
