I actually had a fantasy of creating a national credit card quilt: People in cities and small towns all across the country should take their overused credit cards and bind them together into a piece of art. Then I envision them coming to the Mall (not the shopping mall, that other one) in Washington, D.C., to create a national quilt of credit repentance. It could be huge. Really cathartic. Do you think we could get it going here and now? Investment banks could finance the project with bailout dollars, making it a financial recycling project. The possibilities are endless. Laura,
