If there is a liberal delusion, now that I think about it, it is that the activist (revolutionary) spirit can be translated into governance. The activist who doesn't burn out is the activist who knows their work is life-long commitment.

Of course, once you are in office, civil disobedience becomes something of an oxymoronic construct...Saul Alinsky, I suppose, would argue that demonstrations are a means to seizing political power, following which happy outcome they become nugatory.

(Ha ha, Saul, the joke's on you...)

That said, it is invigorating to see these echoes of the sixties on today's streets, and we shall follow the outcome with interest and vigor.

anybody who holds their breath waiting for any possible president who will come out and endorse civil disobedience is....well....dead. The point is that more often than not our solutions are going to come from not the feds but from the local grassroots, neighbors helping neighbors. Times being as they are, as The Player would say.

All good questions. In general, the irregularities manifested over the past ten years of predatory loans, misleading disclosures, forged and fraudulent documentaion and flat out theft of property would curl your hair.

I would venture by way of speculation that the current owner though Ms Ward would be easier prey than the now bankrupt Delta Funding, (who also, of course, can no longer respond in damaes.)

If as the article states, Delta Funding canceled the loan, why isn't the new loan holder suing Delta Funding for passing on a debt that was not owed by Ms. Ward? It's also interesting that the new loan holder doesn't have a phone number.
