I was just making a point that sometimes 30 years doesn't seem that long when it comes to paying off debts. Very, very true, Mary.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Have you been watching Star Trek marathons, Cam? I wish we could have a society free of money, but I don't see that coming any time soon.

Paying off a mortgage over x number of years on my personal home is accomplished my own after-tax money. Interest payments on home mortgages are not tax-deductible in Canada as they are elsewhere.
Expenditures on this stuff is mostly public money - borrowed and/or printed. I can't imagine how much total interest accrued over 30 years on that original $1.5 billion - money that could have better been spent elsewhere, or better yet, not at all...
TAM.

Last night I watched much of a recording of the 2nd half of the Can. vs. US Womens' Soccer Match last night. Exiting, but what a heart breaker for Can. Still, a proud showing by the Can. team against some tough adversaries.

Canada played better than I have ever seen them play. I can understand how Canadians feel and I would feel the same way if it happened to the U.S. team. Japan will be very tough for the U.S. women to beat today.
