These people lost a family member, they didn't win the lottery.

No, they didn't win the lottery.

But it's pretty damn clear that the donations that these big charities received were intended precisely for victims like this lady.

Not for "tolerance programs" and not for Islamic studies grants.

You may not be comfortable with the families of the victims receiving much money from these charities, but I believe 99.9% of the donors would disagree with you.

No, please read my entire response. I agree that she is entitled to a share of the money given for victims. My question is why is she totally tapped out when she has received $30,000 in three months? Surely that covered her husband's take home pay???

I believe you misunderstood what JD said; I, too, wonder what the story on this whiz kids who worked for these stockbrokers is. Why didn't they have personal insurance that would cover their deaths, especially on business travel. Why didn't they have mortgage insurance. If they are making $10,000 a month, or anything close to that, they should have provided for THEIR families instead of blowing all that money.

Any way you dice it, $30,000 is a LOT of money to spend in 3 months.
