You're the one who brought up picketing in your post #296.

Yes. My exact quote was:

"Guess I need to go picket hospitals, dentists, and towing services for being 'immoral'."

Its called "demonstrating absurdity by being absurd".

And I'm referring to people who buy real estate for cut rate prices that are doing the screwing.

So everybody who gets a good deal at an auction, sheriff's sale, or corner grocery store is "screwing" somebody? Sorry, but it doesn't wash. If there was any hint of impropriety with the transaction (illegal advance notice, restriction of bids, etc.), then I might agree with you. But from what I've read, the sale was open to the public and properly publicized per the letter of the law.

I think your major issue here is with the concept of capitalism in general. The buyer of the property did so to make money, which is still a freedom we have in this country.

I believe in capitalism with a conscience. Legal is not necessarily moral, and my OPINION is these jackals are immoral.
