No thanks I will stay on this one ,It's called "Reality". Because If you are one of those people who think you are in control of your life today you have not been paying attention to what is happen around you or you're still DREAMING!

This attitude is that of someone to whom this will happen again. And again. And it's why people don't want to help you. Someone needs to protect you from yourself... but moreso someone needs to protect all of us from you. And to not even have any remorse or take any responsibility... it's all someone else's fault. I don't think I've seen this attitude since kindergarten.

Excuse Me ! I don't recall my asking anyone for help. And as for needing protection ???Just because I have an open mind and am aware of what is happening around me and in the world today, and that most people today need to get educated in who and what is governing the happenings In the world today. I am one of the many that dosen' have a $2,000. or more mtg. to pay each month. And no I didn't loose any money in the stock market crash . My retirement money is safe.

You've got your perception, I have mine. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
It is a catastrophic economic event. There is no rational defense against such an event.

You are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You can spend most of the rest of your life recovering at the cost of your families welfare or walk. A most unpleasant choice.

Unethical, clearly unacceptable behavior within the context of contract law.

The horse has been dead so long he's starting to reek. I have nothing more to add to the thread. I guess you can always go look at the poll results if you feel I'm wrong in my opinion. I'm not the minority.

These lists always show a Libertarian bent. But I believe it may well be the majority opinion in the US.

It is also wrong. A capability that the majority of the US citizenry has shown before.

You previously said determining whether it is 'right' is a personal judgment. Apparently now you have decided that there is a universal answer to the question and you have anointed yourself the arbiter. This is what we call charlatanism. Disingenuous rationalization at best.
