[The chance of Obama winning the nomination now is almost impossible. Implementing Nuclear Power Plants throughout America is very unlikly. Exelon loses Billions. General Electric has already lost Billions. Obama''''s campaign is all but over.]

I guess President Obama never got the memo.

It can all be summed up in one word, ''integrity''.

Some people have it, and some don''t. Those that don''t, couldn''t understand what motivates those that do if you tried to pound it in with 20 years of prison.

And, THAT folks is why we have so many folks in prison.

Man Alive! I can''t believe I live in America with a bunch of THIEVES like most of you other posters. I would have had to turn the money it because otherwise it would be stealing. STEALING. And I want America to be filled with honest people. So, that''s got to start with me and cool people like Mr. Estrada.

The thing is, that he KNEW who the money belonged to. It was in a Brinks bag. If it had been in a brown paper bag, then he could have taken it to the police, and I think that after 30 days (or so) - if nobody came looking for it - it would be his. But. It wasn''t in a brown paper bag. It was in a Brinks bag. So. There you go.

WAY TO GO, ELI ESTRADA!!! You make me proud!!

[I''''d have paid my bills and sat on the rest. Why should I be honest. The President and his crew aren''''t. He should have acted like the two faced Christians in the White House. After all, they started a war, destabilized the middle east. All to line their pockets.]

it goes much further than this. many claim that the loss of ethics and ''doing the right thing'' is lost due to the lack of religion in schools. but more influential than saying a prayer (or not) in school is the pervasive attitude that seems to exist at all levels of authority that it (whatever) is ok to do ''as long as you get a away with it''. this seems to be the new touchstone principle that guides peoples desision process.

politicians misrepresenting the truth ... including those in the highest seats of power ... corporate leaders who fudge the numbers, lay off thousands, then take huge severence ... and even distraught parents tossing their children off of bridges creates a pervasive sense of ''me'' ... which is the true ''trickle down'' that affects us all ... and is the underlying theme of your post.

You are really amazing. Where did you find out he was an illegal ? When have youeever seen an illegal walk intoi a police statioin to return something they found ? And yes many illegals come here to work to support their families becasue they can''t earn enough in their own country to do so. When they do come they try to be law abiding so they will not attract the attention of the authorities.

WHAT A DUMB A*SS ! ! ! The bank lost the money... screw the bank. when has a bank ever done anything good for anybody?

Exactly.

To Bank of America, losing 140K that fell out of a truck, would be like us losing a penny that fell out of our pocket.

You are despicable, Thirteenburn!

$2Grand? Don''t look now Brinks but you may never be so lucky again. What a stingy bunch of thankless opportunists.

WHAT A DUMB A*SS ! ! ! The bank lost the money... screw the bank. when has a bank ever done anything good for anybody? you know, this guy deserves to drown in debt. this money could have put him back on his feet. he is a selfish man who is only thinking of his own "gut", not about his family or anyone he owed money to (not credit card companies, but, friends and family)... I have to say it again... WHAT A DUMB A*SS ! ! !

And then there is the little matter of karma: As ye sow, so shall ye reap; For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; What goes up must come down; etc. It doesn''t matter whether or not you believe it; it just happens to be the way the universe works, like it or not.

Wow, you people are some of the dumbest people I have ever read about.

It''s pretty amazing that you believe if I drop a $100 bill out the window of my car that the next person who picks it up will suffer "karma consequences" if they don''t spend their whole life trying to "do the right thing" and find me and give it back to me. Since it would be impossible to find me, according to your logic the $100 bill would be better off sitting there in the dirt, doing nothing.

Maybe I didn''t give a rattsass about that $100 bill I dropped out the window....and maybe I wanted the next person who found it to keep it and do something good with it.

But listening to you...the person would no doubt blow their brains out because of the guilt and shame. LOL

Man, you people and your shameful urban legends are really amazing. LOL
