Hey Tax-Chick,
Go easy here. It is all in context, and not in the context of the tsunami. This thread doesn't have anything to do with the tsunami victims. Mike was making a valid point.
I'm pretty much in agreement with that. My point (valid to me, at least) was that he made HIS point with language that was beyond what the situation warrants, and indicative of a victim mentality.
I guess I was a little LOUD ... I feel calmer now that I've had a peanut-butter sandwich and some vegetable soup with garlic :-).
