Well, not only that, but a default on a loan is not some mysterious terrorist act by a debtor...it is a carefully, legally accomodated process in the loan contract. One that is hedged and insured for and prepared for with much legal documents and processes by the lenders. There are procedures for a default...it is the lender that has thrown those procedures out the window with fraud through securitization processes and many times outright falsifying documents. The debtor, exercising his legal right to default and forfeit the property should not bear the blame for the fact that it was the mechanism that uncovered the fraud that the banks were perpertrating. > I'm fed up with the grifters and greedheads who, having gotten > theirs and consolidated wealth upward, now want to keep it to > themselves by fraudulent and corrupt means. via higher bonuses and tax cuts...to add insult to injury. > I'm as libertarian as they come and accordingly I loathe govt > helping out the rich and powerful at least as much, if not moreso, > than the govt handing out money to the poor. Well that is exactly what has happened. The government has been captured by the wealthy. Turns out the government of, by and for the people isn't (and probably never was). The veil has been lifted and the trust has been lost. Now it is every man for himself...and I'm eager to join some merry men and hide out in sherwood. regards, -Lance -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
