When the ole chicken comes to roost, its going to cause an awful lot hardship on an awful lot of folks. "Slavery under usurous debt seems to be the modern accepted thing" You know, it wasn't always that way. Until the 1500's the Church had always taught that usury was a sin. I just remembered this post from our friend Chad that folks might like to read.... http://date-dabitur.com/?p=160 Come to think of it, this is a good one also... http://date-dabitur.com/?p=255 Hi Colin

Slavery under usurous debt seems to be the modern accepted thing. Interest could in medieval times only be charged on a loan that was for speculatory purposes. Most here are so truly blessed to own our land as Freemen not as serfs.
