No personal offense taken man. I appreciate no punches being pulled as well, I am able to take honest criticism

Oh, and one other point I agree with. In theory, government regulation in a free market economy is bad, yes. I only protest when loans are denied to people based on factors other than credit. When race, religion, social status, politics, and so on get involved, I get upset.

Look at what Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank have done with micro-credit loans as a great way to bring the wealth to all though.
