LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Full dance floor

Right now there is a cry to hold the financial services industry accountable for extending those risky loans ("Bleeding economy," Oct. 18). Well, it takes two to tango or, in this case, the dance requires many individuals to accept loans they cannot possibly repay. Don't get me wrong; loaning money without properly evaluating the risks makes for poor business, but accepting such a loan is no better. Today's circumstances call not for a new government program but for more personal responsibility.
—Joseph Wolfe; Hurst, Texas

We are all to blame

Thank you to Joel Belz for being the voice of reason ("Umble pie," Oct. 18). Like him, I am not an innocent bystander and made many financial blunders in my time, but we cannot keep going down this road. It is so true that we justify moral lapses in our pursuit of happiness. We are all to blame.
—Donetta Dalton; Petersburg, Va.
