Anyone that signs a contract that they haven’t read or understand deserves to be taken for everything that they have!!!!!!

Most people don't have a personal attorney to interpret the gobbledygook for them. They couldn't, by your maxim, sign on for a library card.

To hell with stupid people!

I’ve never seen a contract that any reasonably inteligent person couldn’t understand if they took the time to read it.

As for credit card contracts, they are really very simple even if they are very long in verbage.

I don't think it's too much to think that someone should sign something they don't understand. They don't need a personal attorney. A reasonably intelligent friend or family member could read the contract to them. They're not that hard to comprehend. Like a mortgage contract - they are typically a standard form for each state. Once you've read one and get it, then all you need to read is the parts that have been added or amended.
