"I think at this point I owe about $40,000. I really, truly, honestly don't want to pay it back. Sure, I realize the responsibility I took on when I signed the papers and agreed to take out the loans, but I should have never had to do it in the first place. I feel some sort of civic duty not to pay them back, as if my small protest will make any kind of difference."
When I read a comment like that I really want to grab this person by the collar and shake some sense into them. I know many people of similar age who are actually responsible and either didn't take loans they couldn't afford, or are paying off the loans they did take out, and yet they don't get written up about, instead we leave the rest of the world with this impression. So sad on so many levels.
