Express regret and thou shalt be absolved of blame. So what, you cannot be held responsible for the turmoil, despite ranking high within the nexus of all those who must bear responsibility for the present debacle in the financial world; a disruption that not only affects past borrowers of home-loans, but also those who hold no jobs (only a bleak future… at least in the immediate run), thanks to the bungle-ups by Countrywide Financial and the likes.
