Greed is an abomination, not an aspiration. What kind of wrong-directed soul would argue otherwise? Contra naturam!Shame on those who have no shame, and who parade greed as though it were an ethos. Wall Street is a shrine to rapaciousness. Ezra Pound saw it well beforehand and suffered accordingly as the prescient often do. Some say Dick Feld's Lehman Brothers was leveraged as much as 30:1. Leverage is a financially-engineered permutation of usury or sweatless wealth. Now thousands, perhaps millions, will lose their homes and businesses as a result of this pathologic pursuit of MAMMON, greed unmoored from any semblance of social conscience.With UsuraWith usura hath no man a house of good stoneeach block cut smooth and well fitting that design might cover their face,with usurahath no man a painted paradise on his church wallharpes et luthesor where virgin receiveth messageand halo projects from incision,with usuraseeth no man Gonzaga his heirs and his concubinesno picture is made to endure nor to live withbut it is made to sell and sell quicklywith usura, sin against nature,is thy bread ever more of stale ragsis thy bread dry as paperwith no mountain wheat, no strong flourwith usura the line grows thickwith usura is no clear demarcationand no man can find site for his dwelling.stone cutter is kept from his stoneweaver is kept from his loomWITH USURAwool comes not to marketsheep bringeth no gain with usuraUsura is a murrain, usurablunteth the needle in the maid's handand stoppeth the spinner's cunning.
