People Who Directly Benefit From Indentured Educated Citizens: Mr. Jonathan Clark and Mr. John F. (Jack) Remondi

Who are these folks?
(a) Mr. Jonathan Clark is the Executive Vice President and CFO for Sallie Mae. He certainly learned a lot about the ethics behind usury at Ha-vad, didn't he?
(b) Mr. John F. (Jack) Remondi has been appointed as President and Chief Operating Officer for the wonderful and ethical, upstanding and moral company that we all have come to love so much.
I'd like to know how Mr. Clark and Mr. Remondi sleep at night. I bet they sleep well, because their children aren't part of the indentured educated class. So, let's thank Mr. Clark and Mr. Remondi from benefiting financially from the millions of people they have turned into indentured educated citizens. Thanks, guys!
A recent article about SLM's stocks states, "The company has acquired $27 billion of securitized federal student loans and related assets from The Student Loan Corporation which would add 1.3 million customers to its customer base. Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Albert Lord received a 2010 compensation of $5.45 million."
Isn't that awesome? They are creating 1.3 million more indentured educated students! I'm also delighted to hear that Lord received $5.45 million in 2010. That money was all earned from hard, hard work. Great job, Al! You're doing wonderful work, too. Keep it up, my friend. (I think I ought to send him Dante's Inferno, so that he'll learn about where he'll be in hell, the usurious bastard. I'll have to drop by when I'm on my religious pilgrimage - Marx will be my Virgil - and ask him how it feels to be smashed inside a coin purse).

Are Phones That Anachronistic? - Bill Collectors Are On Facebook Too, And Hunting You Down While You Play Farmville!

Some of my readers have already alerted me to the fact that bill collectors are, as a recent MSNBC article states, "trolling" Facebook and other social network sites. I am connected to a number of people on Facebook, but am extremely careful when accepting friend requests. This is one of the reasons for that. If people do not send me specific reasons for why they wish to friend me, or have a number of valid connections, then I refuse to connect with them.
I am curious about this newish trend. Have any of you have been tracked down by one of your student lenders via Facebook?
