Sometimes its a matter of scope - if you owe 10,000 and can't pay - you're in trouble. If you owe a million and can't pay - the bank is in trouble.

Shows you what I know - I didn't realize that interest only loans were adjustable, not fixed.

I also fault the banks, though. They shouldn't give an adjustable rate mortgage to people who can't handle the variances in rates. That's just poor business practice.

Condoleeza is going to speak at the upcoming graduation ceremony at Boston College. The Jesuit priests at the college are not happy about it. The Catholic Church is officially anti-war. There are protests planned.

I kinda like Condoleeza - she's got moxie

Why is it that colleges and/or university populations, at supposed bastions of education where the exchange of differing thought and ideas must take place, find the need to protest speakers like a Condi or a Michael Moore or an Ann Coulter or whomever? Does political disagreement mean someone is unworthy to present their ideas when invited to do so?

This really is a pet peeve of mine - if the message is so bad let it fall flat on it's own accord - protesting speach means you are incapable of countering it through means outside suppression.
