I would never put my life's savings into the stock of a company, in hopes that it would fail. We all have put much into our country, invested way too much hard work to let it fail. Yet, would we allow our bitterness to get in the way, and stand with angry people who want us to stir up a revolution like in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Oman, Yemen ...and the list goes on and on.   Many protestors are heaped in bitterness.  I heard of a saying that likened bitterness to taking poison, while hoping the other person dies.  Wouldn't you say that is rather self-defeating.
