You want to witness it, then remove the police from the community for a month and see what happens. We are bloody animals, plain and simple. Empathy is only possible because of accountability, it is not inherent to us all. Some people have it, are either born with it or learn it. Others, though, just don't give a crap. The minute you have a small group of unaccountable people prospering in a business you have everyone. Just the law of nature.
Well said. Christianity called it "original sin." It's the one Christian doctrine that CAN be empirically verified on a daily basis. I can't seem to find Jesus sitting at the Right Hand of God The Father when I look through a telescope. And I can't find that flaming sword gaurding the Garden of Eden anywhere on Google Earth. But I sure as Hell can watch the news.

They know all you can do is throw a jester their way.
Except jesters don't like being thrown out of car windows at high speeds. You really have to push them hard!

Got me. A jester would be more effective than a gesture. :)

So I go take a look at this house about 2 months ago, the Realtor tells me the asking price is $580K and the bank are firm on the price.
She states they already have an offer of $540K but the bank turned it down (Stupid)
I have an interest in this property, as I bought one in the same road for $496K, even though my realtor stated they had several offers above my offer price. Well that's my offer I told the Realtor "Take it, or leave it" eventually they left it!!
I note that the property is now up for $509K with no takers, the bank should have taken that offer of $540K (If of course it was a real offer) which I doubt.
So it just goes to show that they are still up to their old tricks, of lying to perspective buyers in an effort to up the price.
As a side note the property is a piece of shit that needs a total upgrade from the 1997s decor.
