Getting Ready for... Anything

So I get the sense that things are as awful in Europe as they are here.
Do you think that our lack of regulation and failed monetary policy will hurt our standing in the world even more? If we are seen as the country that created this mess the fallout could be immense. Also do you believe that the struggles in the Russian economy (I've read their index is down 62% of late) will make them more mercurial than usual? Also for all of you very educated people, I never fail to learn something from this board, would you agree that it might be time to repeal Sarbannes Oxley? I was thinking that that 3 million dollar startup fee was prohibitive to a company going public and that more public companies could dilute short interest in a given company i.e give amateurs like myself a chance to survive a day of trading. Thanks for the help and I look forward to learning.
