Wrongful Foreclosures
“Wrongful Foreclosures - http://nyti.ms/fJHGWz”The prospect of systemic collapse is very frightening to everyone who thinks about what it would mean.In spite of the best efforts of the regulators to stave off systemic collapse the bankers seem determined to have one. I want to come out the other side healthy with a place to sleep and the continued prospect of eating enough and staying warm and dry.

The Power of Mockery
Youth movements have the power to overthrow dictators, reduce crime, improve calculus scores and stop teenagers from smoking.
Here is a set of tools for social manipulation. Getting them to the people we want to help is the next problem. Having those people survive the initial stages of the change of their very hostile environment will require other tools. Martyrs are lost to the cause. Very few are needed.
