tkret,
It is weird to see this. I was thinking about this thread the other day. It is one that I got really, really involved in. It hit my hot button because I had been angry for quite a while about what I could see coming.
So many of us could see it coming.
My first rant was about how the fat lady was not even close to singing. And the young couple I talked about who did things right are now even more trapped in that Arizona neighborhood, surrounded by foreclosures. They had played by what they thought were the rules. Nobody told them that there were no rules anymore. And later in the thread I ranted about how I had yelled at Alan Greenspan on a regular basis but he would not listen. I really got into that thread. But I did not want to be right. And neither did the others who said it was bad.
A couple of times recently, I have actually looked closely at the definition of the word
treason, trying to decide if the word applies to those who did this to us.
And no matter how careful, how cautious, how conservative we might have been with our personal financial decisions, we are now so interconnected.
"The Way We Were," huh, tkret.
It is surreal.
