I’m burned out by this stuff. My sympathy reserves have been drained. Every deadbeat, fiscal mental midget, and pie in the sky dreamer now has a sob story.

On the way up, they were oracles with uncanny saviness. Now, the bubble unravels, they are all victims. Victims of the system, victims of bankers, victims of realtors, on and on.

The one person that never seems to get even a smidgen of blame is themselves. A victim of their own greed!

I’ve yet to see a story about personal responsiblity. You know, taking your lumps. Nobody is willing to point out that these people are leeches.
