| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

No problem. As for the article, I think Mr. O'Connor from the Mortgage Bankers Association is deceiving himself. Mortgage cramdown is coming. It will probably (and hopefully) only be backward-looking though. |
