diogene:

You are smarter than the rest here and I would have expected you to go to the "Showdown In Chicago" site and look for yourself. To assist you: <link> "Showdown In Chicago"

You also appear to make light of the situation one in particular faced as well as so many millions of others have faced diogene. If you call a doubling of mortgage payment a fair contract, I guess you are right. One of the leading causing of bankruptcy today is illness and injury such that people are forced to draw upon their assets to meet the hospital payments that are not covered by insurance. Now you may say this is her own tough luck as evidenced by your attitude towards the story she told; but, I sense it is more a story about one person who was forced to turn to a financial institutional to seek a new mortgage or loan to cover her husbannds needs. She didn't say she wouldn't pay, she did say she couldn't afford to pay a doubling of payments. It appears she had the wherewithal to request a loan modification which the court "may" decide.

I do not believe I am in the pictures. If I was I would be in the Sunday and Monday pictures. By Monday noon, the flu virus was dragging me down and I was forced to leave due to being so tired. I would have been the guy at 6'1" tall dude with "black and gray" or "gray and black hair" (dependent upon which mirror I look in) on my head to keep my brain from being addled by the Thai sun and appropriately dressed in a Kors button down shirt, light wool slacks, and a dark windbreaker.
