“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”
—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)

I didn't do any of those things. I just worked, paid my bills and took care of my family. Do I get a consolation prize?
No. You are part of the group that gets to pay the piper.
Being a decent person investing in a corrupt society doesn't pay, because even if just 30% of the assets around you fall through the floor, yours falls with them even if you did everything right.
The sub prime borrowers are not the victims, they are the cornerstone of the force that causes your loss.
You can have a crack dealer on the corner, but he only becomes a problem when he has customers. Without customers he becomes a casualty.
REPENT I say! THE END IS NIGH! AKNOWLEDGE YOUR SINS AND REPENT, and your soul might not be damned FOREVER!
oh, you ignorants! Do you not know that hell BURNS FOR EVER AND EVER?! May God forgive you, for you have not known what you have been doing. May you all REPENT!, and thus be SAVED!
ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOUR ALREADY!
