So much for your Constitution then.
Seriously, why do you Americans go on as if the Constitution was the word of God and a statement of Eternal Truth, when it allowed for things like slavery?
The Constitution is not supposed to be an immutable document, otherwise the authors would not have allowed for amendments. It is not the word of any god. It reflected the state of society at the time. Society changed and the Constitution was amended and reinterpreted. If it had tried to ban slavery it would never have been ratified and there would be no USA.
He put his penis in a woman who did not have the legal right to consent or not.
She was a slave. Legal property. She did not have at the time any rights. Today she would have full protection under the Constitution, and today Jefferson would be a rapist. But today is not yesterday.
You're a company. The fact that any constitutional rights apply to you is because of dirty lawmaking. Kindly screw off. I *hope* you can only piss off the people so much before they realize "Hey, that's pretty dumb."
'Cause, you know, corporations are endowed by their creators with inalienable rights.

I knew this would show sooner or later. Yeah, according to our standards, he was an ass for owning other humans even though he should have known it was wrong to do so. Guess what? Three hundred years from now you might be remembered as an ass who actually drove around in a big thing which continuously generated carbon dioxide even though you should have known it was wrong to do so.
- In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Profit!
- Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Profit!
- In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we *can* do.
Profit!
- Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Profit!
Four Supreme Court Justices say:
Feds send you off to kill or be killed? Okay!
Feds tax you to support thousands of nukes? Okay!
Feds make you be able to take sick kid to doctor? Fuck no!
The next generation of TVs will have a government-mandated camera in them - to protect children from hearing curses. This will be used to monitor viewers during commercial breaks. If anyone is absent during an ad, the show will not resume.
The real table market began just over 2 years ago with the release of the iPad. The "war" has only just begun.
I doubt you can tell who's going to win a marathon by watching the first few minutes of the race.
True that, but to make the analogy more real, it is like a marathon where the runners are paid at every stride according to their place. The leader gets more income/energy drinks/high-tech shoes than the others and so can run even faster and increase the lead.
You bringing up "big financial houses" is complete BS and has no bearing on the issue.
You misread. I did not assign blame. The money managers don't care why it is, they just care that it is. I propose that they will get into guaranteed 8ish percent returns the same way they got into the mortgage market some years ago.

Since the feds made student loans not eligible for inclusion in bankruptcy and the rates went up several points past the mortgage rate, I would guess that money is going to chase student loans in the future. Guaranteed payback at more than Tbills, more than the stock market average. The easy tuition loans in the future may not come from signing that Plus Loan with the government, they may come from signing that Usury Loan from the big financial houses.

Do some research before you start tossing insults around. I'd rather take a course from Thrun and the other highly-regarded professors who hold top positions at MIT and Stanford than listen to some no-name middle management chump who has his head crammed up his ass.
Do you really think that $100 buys you the same access to that MIT professor that $40,000 a year does?

Right. Because the last sub-prime loan speculations treated us so very well.
You can default on a mortgage. You can no longer default on a student loan.
Both dupes are duped. It's a trap.

I can get 1% on 20k. 50 Billion is going to get a heck of a lot better rate.
You could buy up unsubsidized student loans at 6.8%. Low overhead costs and no worries of getting discharged in bankruptcy.

Stealing IP and lawyering up to defend it is a pretty reliable plan.
Yo mamma so stupid, she thought the Higgs Boson would be found in the 149-206 GeV/c2 mass range.
Many myths are descended from truths.
You left out key steps:
- In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Profit!
- Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Profit!
- In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we *can* do.

That explains why Boston isn't on the list. It's not much of a college town.
