However they are loosing because Santa Cruz county is better organized. They will tie you up in court for decades.

One day I could be poor . . . or own property . . . or both. <BR/><BR/>I was just thinking about white/middle-class skills . . . Even with these skills I have (e.g., I can so "No!" to credit card offers), I still get suckered into various gimmicks over the phone (e.g., "Switch to our phone company and save bla bla bla . . ."). I made a commitment the other day that I won't promise any money over the phone; I'm too gullible. If I'm gullible after my enbiable education background, what about those who just went to high school? How do they not get suckered into every salesman and politician? <BR/><BR/>jasonJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255009211179567943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15875799.post-1154276688999012842006-07-30T11:24:00.000-05:002006-07-30T11:24:00.000-05:00ya know, bullshit is exactly the word i would use ...ya know, bullshit is exactly the word i would use too.<BR/><BR/><I>I couldn't believe how easy it was to do this.
