Why are we ashamed of wealth and success? Its like we will it away as some scam we pulled that we never really expected to last. **** that. PS. What a beautiful house (or home). The massive debt built up in the ENTIRE European banking system is being thrown around like a hot potatoes. We're gladly holding our own and a few others tightly because we think there might be some reward there. There ain't.

I feel personally like it was an assault and this aspect of the case makes me feel sick. If anyone else wants to misquote me and think I'm supporting the couple can read my posts again and you will see I'm not. I'm just angry and worried that these so called "bailiffs" can come along and drag someone off their property. That is my thoughts on this matter and im not gonna say much more.
