Leonardo's Notebook puts the present financial "crisis" in perspective

We'd like to ask our readers to stop and take a moment from this crisis of confidence in things monetary in order to share a discussion on Leonardo's Notebook that we believe raised some valid questions about what our priorities are, and just how bad the current situation really is (or is not).

Matt shared comments from both Pope Benedict and an Al-Queda militant who both point out the root of much of the ongoing banking crisis - blind greed and selfish motives - concluding:

I can't help but understand that they're drawing from the same anagogic well, if you'll allow the image, in their criticisms of the financial crisis however differently they express it.


When someone else has made the point quite nicely, it makes little point to pontificate further. Therefore, we'll ask you to hop on over to Matt's blog and join the ongoing discussion.
