Twain/Clemens attributes the quote to Disraeli in his Autobiography. Leonard Courtney was involved somewhere in between and Twain possible took the quote from him and attributed to Disraeli. Lord Courtney was a Statistician, he started the society. Next topic: The Independent Party is neither independent or a party, discuss. (Along the same lines: the constitution declares us a Republic not a Democracy, why then do we resolve to call our selves Democratic? Hint: Look up the constitution and the definitions for both types of government.) The original line was by Disraeli in a speech or interview he gave when he was in office.

Also, does anyone know of an ETF or other security that would allow me to short logic and reason?

They will throw you out, in 30 days after sheriff's sale. The sheriff will personally inspect that you did not take the bank's property (at the very least in 8 counties in NJ, DE, and PA that I've done this in). Your only hope is to make a short sale deal (bank will sell to an interested buyer at 80%, PMI covers the rest) where you lose the house but it's like an amicable divorce and you don't get a foreclosure on your record. And if you want your personal property, you have to pay for your own truck. You do realize until you hold title to your property you are just renting it from the bank, who is the true and rightful owner? If I'm hired by the bank, I can enter the grounds and it's not trespassing. Note to Self: Short PMI co's. I do residential appraisers, REOs and foreclosures on the side.

Not in our new reality. If you need me I will be having my cake and eating it too. You assume of course that they actually throw you out of your house when you stop paying your mortgage.

BTW, why no mention of the fact that a good portion of those that are going into foreclosure overpaid and it's an exit strategy for them? They are getting out of a losing position? “The difference between humans and other animals is their ability to analyze and reason.” – so much for that…
