7. I understand the larger issue and am deeply sympathetic, but

Edited on Sun Oct-30-11 11:30 AM by coalition_unwilling

are we suppposed to feel sorry for Joseph Reilly (cited in the WSJ article) who lost his 'vacation home'???? I mean, really, there are some 20,000 homeless veterans on the sreets of Los Angeles and I'm supposed to give a shit about someone with the wherewithal to have a 'vacation home'?

Maybe I've got an empathy gap this morning but this specific case sort of sticks in my craw.

More coffee should help :)
