RE: Medium format digital
No problem about going off the deep end - but the big rich bad guys do tend to get away with actions that would get us mere mortals locked up with the key thrown away. What banks are offering that rate - I need a home for my just returned Indy Mac cd - trying to retire - and its really tough :( Mike -----Original Message----- From: Jack Fulton [mailto:jefulton1@comcast.net] Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 5:19 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Re: Medium format digital Here, in my home town, 4.15% right now for a 7 month . . . and safe. But, Mike, I know what you mean. I do know that our banks, locally, are substantial and not caught up with "the mortgage scandals", which remind me of the Savings & Loan scandals of the 80's & 90's. They were another de-regulated piece of work foisted upon the public and paid for by us to create multi-scrillionaires. One of AZ (where guess who is from) was Hurwitz who took over our local perfectly fine and good redwood lumber mill and all but ruined the forests and lives. It's greed . . . but, gosh folks, I didn't mean to go off the deep end but, whew, I am livid these days.
