Let's say you have a snake infestation. Now the ideal scenario would be to exterminate the snakes, or at least try to starve them out. The snakes do provide benefits at times but once in a while they will try to fatally bite you or someone you love. You never know when and the snakes set limits on what you can do and where you can go. You are at their mercy.

A few years ago they killed one of your children and a few guests but in doing so they exposed to themselves to extermination and starvation. But instead of finishing them off, you helped them. And you brought in new snakes. And you kept personally feeding the snakes that managed to survive their near deaths and made them stronger. You couldn't possibly entertain the thought of a possible rat infestation if the snakes died out so you made the snakes stronger in numbers and in health.

Will you be surprised if they bite and kill more people next time?

We finally have an answer in the case of whether the government was too mean to AIG when it bailed out the insurance giant in the fall of 2008.

Thomas Wheeler, a judge in the United States Court of Federal Claims, said Monday that the terms of the government's bail out were, in fact, illegally harsh.

However, he awarded no damages to Starr International, the corporation chaired by Hank Greenberg, which was in 2008 one of AIG's the largest shareholders. Greenberg, remember, was CEO of AIG for several decades leading up to and including 2008.

(Yes, this was basically a case of the former CEO of a company that got a massive bailout from the government coming to the courts and arguing that the government was too mean to him.)
