Tired this morning - late night movie

I stayed up too late watching a movie last night. We were watching a couple of Chuck episodes that we had recorded and when that was over, the channel the TV was on had this movie called "Bonnie and Clyde". We knew it wasn't going to end well, but I didn't really know a lot about their story so we watched it all the way to the bitter end: (Spoiler alert!!! ;-) They died a gruesome death caught in a trap by someone they trusted, killed by a TX ranger who had been following them for some time.
The interesting thing was that what drove them into the bank-robbing business was the Great Depression. Times were bad then. Strange similarities to economic time today - failing banks, house foreclosures and joblessness abounded. But at least we still have drinking water and food. I pray daily these days that it doesn't come to that again anytime soon.
