Exactly. If someone gives you something for "free", what is it's bottom-line
value to you? Nothing, of course. Why would you feel compelled to place much
importance on paying for something that was advertised as "free"? You
wouldn't. The "free" system automatically draws those who are stupid enough
to not read the fine print, and those same stupid people are the ones who
are least likely to keep up the payments.

Need to replace all those blue yards signs with ones that say "I'm a Moron".
