Calling note due by bank is really dangerous.

The real danger is that you'll take that deal, then they trash the place.

I know I don't know every angle of this business, but not using my own money means I'm in danger of getting my legs broken right?

This just seems like a good strategy when prices are appreciation, and dangerous when prices are falling.

You never know you're in danger - just feel tired, go to sleep, and don't wake up.

He's dangerously ignorant, and unpredictable as a result-- take bombing Pakistan for instance, or flip flopping on the status of Jerusalem, or whether or not Iran is a serious threat-- because he flat doesn't know what he's doing.Add to that his terrorist / marxist / black liberation theology mentors and you've really got a volatile mix that will make Jimmy Carter appear stable, and competent.McCain isn't my personal choice, and I live in a "blue" State anyway (Obama will run away with the People's Republic of Illinois by 20 points) but if I lived in a "swing" state-- I'd have to vote for McCain against Obama.
