Stupidity? Guess its easy to label a WWII vet and his disabled wife from the lofty moral heights you live in.

I haven’t said they are stupid unless they are expecting the government or insurance to insure their trailer at an artificially low cost while living in a disaster-prone area in a home easily ruined.

However, if they are such people, then I am saying such things.

With all due respect, a WWII vet didn’t fight so that society as a whole could support his lifestyle. At least that’s what most people all around here believe in, and, tugging at heartstrings with the whole ‘WWII vet’ and ‘disabled wife’ is unbecoming and I would bet is NOT what THEY would want.

The unfortunate fact of life is that resources are limited, economics has a set of laws, and that feelings often distort those laws tremendously (see ‘Democrat Party’). Perhaps the choice of words here was unfortunate - substitute ‘bad choice’ for ‘stupidity’ and it’s a lot milder statement, but true never the less.
