Peter P Says:
I am not a fan of incarcination at all. Most long prison terms should be commuted to death sentences. Prisons are very expensive. Gallows are much cheaper to operate.

jeez, you must get mugged or burgled weekly in alternation to have that view. "hang 'em high..."

can we also hang corrupt congressmen who take money from big business and special interests for favourable treatment (all of them), war criminal presidents, most attorneys, RE salespersons, RE gurus, used car salespersons, most bankers, anyone who spends more than $300 on a suit, anyone whose attitude i don't like, etc. i'll be in on that... i will set them all long prison sentences and have to commute them to death sentences, because the law demands it! ah, it will be a fine cultural purging come the revolution...

Meantime, Randy is out there trying to influence the market for the benefit of us all. So is Peter P.

I cannot speak for Peter P. But as for me, I am not about crusading as some market making altruist. I am only interested in securing a suitable home for my family at a suitable price. That it may help a wider market if others engage in similar market setting behaviors is nothing more than a pleasant side-effect.

I hope it doesn't surprise or disappoint anyone to find out that I am decidedly not an altruist.

I have never tried to influence the market and I will never try. It will not succeed. It will only bring frustration.

Matken,

Thanks but no thanks! I do my part to encourage elected officials to do their jobs and execute the laws they have on the books. That ought to keep them busy for a while.

I personally think that there is very little that is "real" in real estate, real estate for the most part is a lot of smoke and mirrors designed to confuse the buyer and make the process much easier for the agents.
