What RoNin posted is dark humor, I would say, so it is a bit funny. I know I chuckled.

I encourage laughing at sad times, even over the sad things.

However, perhaps this will help put things into perspective. This is more of the truth of what is going on in America.

Well here is a bit of an upside from that sad story.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/10/03/evicti ... index.html

Maybe the way to punish all of these greedy banks and loaners would be to take away their loans and mortgages that they tricked people into and just give the land back to those people.

(this isn't the answer...btw)

EDIT: CNN updated the link from my post above - so now these links are the same link.
