i very much like the current phrase "sovereign debt," which appears simply to mean government debt. but it's hard not to hear it as "the debt which exercises complete, legitimate power over each of us." and hard in turn not to see this as a kind of summary of human life. karma is a bitch, baby. anyway, i'm 51 and still owe 40k in student loans.

You should have picked a better major then.

It is kind of funny that student loans are the one kind not cleared by bankruptcy because of all those law students who took advantage of it.
