- Which Double Standard Bothers You the Most?:
- Bill: There is one rule in international politics: There is no ethics or morals, only interests. Double standard is the norm.
- The Old 'Tit-for-Tat' on Taiwan:

- One Disgrace at a Time and Longer Odds Increasing:
- Bal(t)imoron: @Bill: The average layperson is fully aware of the incentives for getting a mortgage. Instead of piling on another incentivizing regulation, this is a one-shot, short-term remedy that would replace the previously failed regulation scheme.
- Bill: 5/3 year term mortgages have been available for decades. Why another government regulation ? I rather include mortages, mortgage calculation etc. included in a compulsory course in primary and junior high when they start to learn percentages.
- Saturday at PIFF:
