Banks: David vs. Goliath

I don't really know anymore if we are David or Goliath. Looking at the Libor scandal makes me think we (the World of common people) are Goliath as in big number of average Joes trying to get on with our lives and petty worries and David are bankers with slingshot throwing fragmentation grenades. Naomi Wolf's recent article shows discouraging facts about our future and the control of these money hungry people. Apparently if you know something you are facing two choices:

• The Hero: you see the irregularity, you step aside and blow the whistle, all those who are maintaining the irregularity will come at you and break you down, American football style coming at horse speed and jumping on you with an arm lock until you can't breathe no more. It's a bit what happened to that poor Bradley Manning, US army version or Julian Assange, whose sexual convictions are so made up it's not even funny. It seems though these people don't really care about been precautious, they have power with them. It's like being Batman defending the poor and the widow with his friend the judge before ending up as 2 faces, except it's in real life hence all that is of power will come down to you (and unfortunately they proved they would do it). Either you are willing to end up with your life knowingly or you just think like in an American movie that the truth will be unfold. The World will change for better with you remembered as the Man that revealed the truth and all the women will fall on your feet... seems like an Islamic suicide bomber with the promise of the 40 virgins doesn't it?
• The regular Joe: like most of us, or the Hero that has put a bit of thoughts into his actions and realized the war was lost for him at least and it was not worth ending up with his own life so that the truth would be unfolded but quickly remade, hidden again and eventually nobody cares and the rest of the World will go on with its day-by-day life. No one really wants things to change, we made our plans for a nice working life and a happy retirement with children and grand children floating around us like busy little bees. Eventually either this one is Goliath contemplating the wasp nest full of little David on fragmentation grenades that all together would end up with his life or it's David looking at Goliath and thinking the story wont end up like in the tale, the sling is really too short and he doesn't have any fragmentation grenade... costs too much!
• The Hungry: He is the regular Joe but thought "why not me?" because he has tasted power. He went to the wasp nest and said to the Davids: if I blow the whistle, I'll die yes but I'll make sure I'll burn you down with me (that's Batman's friend turning into 2 faces). So in exchange for his silence, after harsh negotiations and death threats (just to try to scare him off, testing him out... he'll be killed if he failed the test because you acknowledge the hungry but only the brave ones) he is rewarded and the machine can go on.

Is it about controlling people? Getting as much money as we can to spend on stupidly expensive hotels, restaurants, clubs and women (probably all equally expensive)? Trying to get to the bottom of people's mass control? What is the role of the government and till when will they accept such behaviour?18th of July we hear that Bank of America reports second quarter net income of $2.5bn, better than expected (get it from FT.com).
So the conclusion of all that is that impunity comes with mass robbery. Times have not changed since the Kings were ruling the land extracting money from the peasants. Names have changed but the principle remains the same.
