Though I do want to emphasize, I am on "our" side, sabrina.

But since Big Financial People own just about everyone above the level of dog catcher in this third world, Banana Republic of ours, I am not holding my breath.

I used to think, for instance, that the DOJ descended on state of California because of Obama protecting financial interests of Big Pharma, but it is equally as likely that the move to strip away our medical marijuana clinics was done to protect the profits the Big Financial firms make from laundering the drug money.

One positive thought I keep thinking - the "NOW" may indeed belong to these corrupt ass wipes currently in office, but the FUTURE belongs to the people who are waking up and realizing we must not vote for anyo9ne we view as corrupt, but instead realize that our votes must go to those who are honest.

I mean, maybe we will someday have a John Garamendi Presidency, with Jackie Spiers as VP (OR vice versa.)

Yes, it does. It's called 'taking action' on behalf of the PEOPLE this time, rather than the sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #9

I'd like to point out that an under-appreciated genius made a similar suggestion 2 1/2 years ago: Orrex Jul 2012 #5

Wow, that was brilliant, Orrex. You were ahead of the game. And it was a very good question at the sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #8

You are a person ahead of your time, orrex. Good job! truth2power Jul 2012 #10

+1 to Orrex! Poll_Blind Jul 2012 #19

But the post didn't address the point made by TexasObserver. Is TexasObserver right? AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #25

The fair market value of a foreclosed home is often a tiny fraction of its full sale value Orrex Jul 2012 #27

But that is not what happens in eminent domain. Properties are not auctioned. There is caselaw on stevenleser Jul 2012 #53

Okay, then require banks to maintain vacant properties in livable condition Orrex Jul 2012 #56

You cannot single out someone in a law like that, it would have to apply to all property owners. stevenleser Jul 2012 #58

You'd only be applying it to people who vacate properties and don't maintain them. Orrex Jul 2012 #59

I proposed a Federal govt bailout offer of all stevenleser Jul 2012 #62

You are correct, using MERS, the Banks removed any records of ownership from municipal record sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #21

That could actually be a problem for this. drm604 Jul 2012 #23
