We went out last Thursday and picked a pound and a half, but then left for a weekend camping trip Friday morning and forgot to properly store them, ie we left them sitting out on the table in a bag. =(

(And I’m pretty middle of the road with the willingness to be cynical about both parties.)

I particularly raised my head at this insightful comment. I think to a degree it can extend to the use and abuse of other forms of credit too — for example I see myself reflected here in a significant way:

“People don’t just get lousy or risky mortgages because they are stupid or greedy- they get them because the only way to have money when you don’t have any is to play roulette with your credit.”
