Nevertheless, I wish you make a ton of money!]]> Mon, 26 May 2008 13:56:57 -0400

This hurts you because lack of accountability inevitability leads to abuse of that power and coercion of the lesser party. Men are not angels and you need the most transparency and equal rights and respect you can get. You quit asking for respect and you're gonna hurt real, real bad.
BTW, none of this is supposed to mean solicitation is OK.

In an ideal world, I would be in favor of letting bad mortgages fail, housing prices coming down to affordability, etc...But neither Republicans or Democrats will let that happen. Look at the campaign contributions.
