Just as asinine as it was the first time I heard it, all those years ago . . . Any particular argument you have for that? Do you beleive that she would have actually gone ahead and given up her grades? Or will you simply disparage without reason?

As I said in the fine article it is nothign to spend a couple of hundred dollars to have a lawyer read it for you. If $200 is too rich for someone they shouldn't be signing up for a freaking home loan for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. They get what they deserve.

You can choose not to sign and have your brains blown out - it's still YOUR decision, you're forced to do nothing. Gee, generally most folks can see the difference between the threat of deadly force and a high-pressure sales pitch . Of course some people seem to have problems making the distinction.
