I'm wanting to do a round-up of controversial posts from your sites.  I'm sure we have all written some posts that have created a bit of controversy with our opinions.  Maybe there was a commenter that really disagreed and sparked a great debate? 

 

If you have a finance-related controversial post, send it my way and I will put together a round-up!

I wrote a post comparing Social Security to a Ponzi Scheme. I expected more of an outcry, but haven't gotten many angry responses. 

 

Here's the link, if you like it.

Thanks for putting this together. It's a good idea.
