In case it isn't obvious, you have a completely different value system than I
do. You don't seem to have any problem with such practices. Is there a line
where you do consider something to be deceptive? Are the mortgage loan practices
with "teaser" rates misleading? Are the terms of payday loans predatory? Sure
all these things are perfectly legal, but all of them are "wrong" in my book. I
would hope people would aspire to have higher standards that just being "legal".
