Be Good For Goodness Sake

What ever happened to this? No one is ever good just for the sake of being good anymore. Everyone is always looking to work an angle of their own. I personally believe altruistic behavior is possible but becoming exponentially more rare. What if everyone in the world quit worrying about themselves and simply cared for others around them? All of your needs would still be met, only by a neighbor or a friend and at no cost to yourself. In turn you could help out your neighbor and friends so they would not have to worry about themselves. I know this is a somewhat unrealistic concept but why not strive for the unrealistic? I think it would give everyone a great deal of joy and satisfaction if they were to embrace even a fraction of this concept once again. It's not just for the sake of Santa, be good for goodness sake.

Casey, Eliminate My Debt

So I deleted my Facebook and therefor don't get my daily dose of Casey shenanigans. In lieu of that I figured I could bring some of the shenanigans here to my blog.

Anyway, Casey is now working on mortgage elimination and "strawman" stuff, which in theory will give him the power to cancel mortgages just like that. I don't fully understand the concept but it has to do with the bank not being able to validate the loan, and that the loan was never there in the first place. Something about your "John Hancock" having the magical power of creating money from thin air. Casey seems very convinced that this is all well and good, but I obviously have my reservations. What I will say though is this; If this ever actually works out, I will be buying a house tomorrow and never paying a dime for it.... wait, when you put it that way it sounds a bit dishonest and greedy, it's all good right Casey?
