A. Put a period after "age" in your first sentence--begin another senticence with "rich" and a comma after "corrupt." Spell out "first;" Insert a semicolon after "building". Put a period after "themes" and begin a new sentence. 2nd paragraph: I assume the commas before the next words are just typos in asking the question. Next-to-last paragraph: Period after Rhod Island. Begin new sentence with Volunteers (And, why did you change from past to present tense--shouldn't you be consistent?) Which would probably have changed the world as we know it--I'm not sure what your "which" refers to.

Q. We all hope that some bank CEO will find the bravery to reverse their abusive policies. I call on all celebrities, anyone who can, to join in a boycott and withdraw your money from American banks. The speculation of banks folding compared with wanton, unethical treatment of good, moral people is a no-brainer. Withdrawing from banks is the lesser of the two evils. Use Swiss banks, any banks that you can other than American banks. As one reporter said, the mattress is looking good right now. I do realize that many of you have already had to resort to that.
