Yep, I agree with ya, moe.
And to answer Jim's question:
Quote:
Why should the banks be the only ones coming out ahead?
...maybe because people put their John Hancock(yeah, I know you're Canadian, but you probably still know the reference I'm usin' with Mr. Hancock's name here) down on a mortgage, i.e....a promise to pay back to that bank a certain amount of money for that house.
Of course, in today's day and age it seems "promises" are often thought of as too "Old Skool" to be taken seriously.
Yep, kinda like how today 50% of people who "promise" to "love, honor and respect their spouses 'til death us do part" can't seem to be bothered with THAT kinda thing anymore, either...especially after the two of 'em pop out 1, 2, or 5 little rugrats!
(...but hey, please don't get me started on THAT here, 'cause I can "wax poetic", or maybe more exactly put, I can "wax nostalgic" about THAT "little" present social issue for quite some time TOO, ya know!!!!)
