That was the only tape we played all the way there and back. Terrific songs. I always liked "Already Gone" best.<br /><br />As far as mortgage fraud is concerned, Calculated Risk had a post about MERS some time ago. The Supreme Court in the state of Kansas issued a ruling that put a stop to all foreclosures initiated by MERS, because it could not produce documentation that showed it actually owned the notes.<br /><br />The housing bubble was the symptom. Financial fraud was the disease. And it continues unabated and untreated to this day.<br /><br />While there are a lot of issues I disagree with Max Keiser on, he's exactly right about this one. It's financial terrorism.<br /><br />Two decades ago finance accounted for 7% of GDP. Now it accounts for 40%. The difference between then and now? Rampant fraud, of course.<br /><br />Where are the regulators? Where are the authorities? Where are the political leaders? In the back pockets of the banks, bought and paid for.<br /><br />None of this will end well. It's no wonder politicians are desperately trying to create another housing bubble. Now that they've exported our manufacturing base, there's nothing left but finance, which owns them, and housing.<br /><br />Curse the Baby Boomers forever.GawainsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719480047404817864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-81300376433913042772009-10-16T23:25:52.775-04:002009-10-16T23:25:52.775-04:00W,

My fave on that record was "Peaceful Easy Feeling", great album.
