I personally do not want my fish dipped in melamine or anyother non-fishy 
substance.  The fault is not in the regulations, but in that they were not 
applied across the board.  And.... I do not think hunger or destitution will 
have anything to do with the remaking of our economy.  The same force that 
caused this mess will pull us out of it..... greed.  Nature abhors a vacuum 
and so does the free market.  If there is a market niche, it will be filled. 
I am just hoping that there are still enough old machinists around to run 
the old machine shops.

Wendy
who is hoping this collapse is total and absolute.
