>As the players change, the lessons of the past will be forgotten, or if not actually forgotten, minimised in importance. We've had housing crises before, but here we are again. The thing is, it's the children or the children of the children, and not the same players as the last time.

My mom was terrified of banks her entire life. Her family lost everything before she was born and and they continued to tell the stories during her childhood years. My grandfather dissappeared on the trains for years (he worked for the railroad) and my grandmother didn't want anyone (not even the bank manager) to know if she had any money and how much so she hid her money in the attic. My Norwegian grandmother and grandfather buried their money under the house. My aunt and uncle dug it up when my grandfather passed away and my grandmother eventually reached the point where she needed to go a nursing home.
