I figured that a nice guy like him would do better with copies of Kahlil Gibran's "The Profit" and once - and I am not proud of this suggestion, but sometimes desperate times demand desperate measures -- Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar." He still gets occasional Facebook messages from the Chi O Exile he used that approach with.

I would say that for a Santorum or other social conservative. I think this is different.

I think he was trying to say, in his own incomprehensible, florid way, that letting banks run amok would harm average people. The "unchain" metaphor was not his. I think it is far more likely that he was alluding to Jean Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract than that he was suggesting that Republicans want to enslave blacks, and so do you.

Surely not, but it's worth mentioning that there's not a lot of daylight between his views and those of, e.g., Michelle Bachmann.
