Anyone watch 60 minutes?

Did anyone else see the piece on mortgage paperwork fraud and immediately think: so you're the morons who took out a loan that was more than you could afford, but feel it's cool to blame everything on Wall Street? Nice to have faces to put on a name.

Seriously though, people start crying, talking about the American dream, how Wall Street ruined their lives, etc. Do you ever find yourself defending your career choice with friends and family? I know this topic been discussed before, but it's a recurring theme for me and it's getting old real fast.

How do you guys address this?

My favorite part was the dude signing the papers "they told me that I was going to be signing documents with someone else's name and that it was all legal". The words mortgage or vice president didn't draw a red flag? He even bitches about not getting paid enough for it lol.
