  • Bank Overdraft Brouhaha: Why Can't People Take Responsibility for Themselves? [View article]
    Finally - FINALLY! Some common sense about the bank charges. Lets face it, too many people are simply not responsible with their money so why should I have to pay for their mistakes? The credit card companies call me a "dead beat" because I pay off my card each month.

    I also agree with you about Mr. Salmon. Good article Vince.

  • The Backwards Credit Card Model  [View article]
    I only have one credit card but nearly everything I buy goes on it; gasoline, food, electricity, phones, etc. Then they debit my checking account so I don't even have to write a check! I pay off the balance each month and never incur any fees of any kind. Like user 409605, I could care less about interest rates.

    I guess that's why the CC industry calls people like us "dead beats"!

  • Light Emitting Diodes: Rubicon Synthetically Creates World's Biggest Sapphire [View article]
    I was in Best Buy recently looking at big screen TV's and compared Plasma, LCD and the new LED screens (from Samsung) and there was no comparison! The LED screen was far brighter, crisper and used 40% less power than the LCD units (they claimed). It did cost a few hundred more but it sure looked worth it to me!

  • Can Hank Paulson Lead? [View article]
    No time for checks and balances???? Are you nuts? This is why we have "checks and balances" so one man won't make himself king!

    BTW, a bazooka IS a rocket launcher.

  • The Department of Energy Fails Us [View article]
    retired climber, I agree 100% and i have to say that it's refreshing to hear it out loud. Now if we can only elect a group of individuals who will act for the nation instead of themselves, we may survive this mess. Otherwise, madness this way lies.

  • No Sign of a Credit Crunch Outside of Real Estate [View article]
    I'll bet MY yaght club could get credit, too, if all the members had $5M+ in the bank. But what about the guy that runs the car wash? Or the guy that runs a Radio Shack? Or the school teacher? Maybe if they're debt free... but don't count on it.
