I just don't understand how all these really, really (supposedly) smart people missed what was happening, or didn't know it WOULD HAPPEN when they started figuring out all these crazy, stupid ways to make money. For crying out loud, I would have known it would eventually come tumbling down, and I am nowhere near a genius when it comes to finance stuff.
