Ash Wednesday - Very Apt

Cover yourselves with ashes, ponder on the causes in your own life for this recession/depression/slump/crash and then resolve how to survive without government help, for it is they mainly to blame and they who have squandered on the wastrel banks any resources they might once have had for the aid of ordinary citizens. Early Christians on the first day of Lent believed it was a time for penitance - we can learn from them and then perhaps begin a new start. One thought, should the markets be suspended during Lent?
