No way should we bale out these irresponsible people who bought during the boom. Most of us could see that the housing market was seriously inflated and that the bubble would burst eventually. NOT A CHANCE.

Invite people under 40? why would they want this generation to contribute.. they might have some really good ideas and more to the point might not be already inculcated into the system and may suggest avenues repulsive to the stale status quo.
