Do you think institutions should pay their debts? Should margin debt actually mean something and should a margin call actually force an institution to pay up? Or should our institutions be given an unlimited tab to run up in our supposedly fair stock market? If you go into debt can you kick the can forever? I know I can't. I, for one, want the short sellers to pay up. They made a gamble. They lost. Screw them, pay me. -- It's not the games we play that show our humanity, it's the way we play them.
