Sorry, but loss of you investment is more from a failing economy than from an "idiot redneck" (spoken like a true yankee). Your little nest egg? Haven't you been reading the papers? Home values are falling like crazy (and not due to any rednecks - gasp!). Now myself, on the other hand, have lived here all my life, bought my house in 1978 when it was $32,000, and it's now worth $135,000, even with the failing economy. Now THAT was a wise choice. Just sayin'...
