Most people, when shopping, never get to the checkout with more in their

The real question here, is why was there a big bubble of morons
purchasing homes? Is it possible they never heard, "BUYER BEWARE?"

roflol ... you just gotta love morons, it is always someone elses fault
they did something stupid ... next, I expect a cop to walk up to one and
ask them, "Why did u just shoot that person?" And, they reply, "He just
got in the way of my bullet -- it wasn't my fault!"

On the other hand, if we have policies that don't take into account
human nature, we should be prepared to live with the result.

If a business mandates changing passwords that are too difficult for
most people to memorize - it should be prepared for them being written
down on post-it notes.

If salesmen get bonuses for selling products you cannot deliver, be
prepared for business problems.

If bankers make short term money by selling mortgages over
conservative projected values (then pass them to others), expect a
mortgage breakdown.

Is it good for the country when stupid (or smart) people lose their
homes?

We shouldn't have policies that say "it's their fault, let them
suffer" - especially not when the whole country has to suffer along
with them.
