Maybe more protests should be staged at all the philanthropies (Yeshiva University, Hadassah  and Elie Wiesel's Holocaust Survivors) hospitals (North Shore LI , universities (Stony Brook), law schools (NY Law) and pension funds (State of Mass.) that were also bilked. Forget about all the individuals (Kevin Bacon, Steven Spielberg, Mortimer Zuckerman NY Daily News owner) etc.)  
 
 
 It is always so satisfying to blame the victims (Banks, especially) for the crimes, isn't it?  And of course Madoff is such a typical American, why not bash all Americans while you are at it?

 Wow!
 The fantafabolous protest does not surprise me. As they say: "no es por nada que 
 Sevilla rima con maravilla" (not for nothing does Seville rhyme with marvelous)
 Ole.
 Perhaps it should be mentioned that that particular bank invested about 2 
 billion Euros of the depositors' money with the infamous Madoff. The funds were, 
 of course, lost.  Further, it was revealed that a bank's employee had embezzled, 
 without detection and over years, millions and millions of Euros. The bank has 
 attempted to share the losses with all the depositors by hiking fees and 
 charging investment accounts, etc.  Hence the protests.
 What does surprise is that Madoff's criminal schemes reached so far. Perhaps the 
 economic conditions in Spain have clouded the national judgement as it has been  
 said in Spain, for years and years, that going fishing with Americans carries 
 the risk of ending up as the fish.
 Oh well!
 But, regardless of the economic blight, Andalucians managed to set up several 
 new albergues last year, incorporated two more confraternities and are actively 
 pursuing their two-year old plan to have an albergue every 25 kms. or so 
 throughput the Via de la Plata.
 Hugs!

 ow to stage a protest in Sevilla.
 A creative and peaceful protest in concern to the economic crisis. Some 
 evillanos held a "juerga flamenca" in the Banco de Santander at Constitution 
 venue, Sevilla. I love the frolicking cow and the security guard's vain 
 ttempts to control the situation. Ain't Spain Great?
