2. How about this for an idea
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 07:01 PM by AllentownJake
How about we re-instate all the regulations that prevented people from being dumbasses.

You know the usary laws, the regulations on what you can sell as a mortgage, all those good things from oh 30 years ago before this insane society existed.

Here is the deal, if you make something legal, people will make it into a business, someone is going to market something to them and than dumbasses are going to buy into it.

The banks and consumer society has an army of trained human psychologist working for them and training their sales forces on what the best way is to sell shit people don't need.

The only control our previous generation had, was their access to credit.

You can't put the apple in the middle of the Garden and act surprised when a bunch of people are eating it after a snake told them to.
