Calling note due by bank is really dangerous.

Well, the owner has had issues with substance abuse.

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?

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.
