Ray, I agree. But maybe this is a new world. Borrow lots of money, buy 
lots of stuff, live the high life until the credit is gone, then go 
bankrupt and screw your creditors. It's the new American Dream; everyone 
from the poorest to the largest corporations are doing it. And getting 
away with it; I know someone who filed for bankruptcy and had all his 
debts forgiven. He kept his house, drives a much nicer car than I do and 
always seems to have cash for things he wants. Maybe that's Darwin's Law 
in action...survival of the ones who work the system best. Sometimes I 
think *I'm* the less evolved one for playing by the rules.
