>>blissfully dependent upon there never being a rainy day during our lifetime. God help us.
Who said anything about never having a rainy day? I was just saying, not sure why small minded people feel a need to make fun of someone who is having a hard time;perhaps it makes themselves feel better about themselves...do you laugh at people with cancer too because it hasn't happended to you?

It's not that people are making fun of him, per-se. They are using the poster child (HIM) to point out that there's more to it than the story suggests and this is really just a hit piece.
There's more going on than meets the eye in this story. It doesn't wash.

You kind of hold people who live within their means, whatever their means may be, in contempt, don't you?
Just because someone is not bleeding from the heart for people who are so stupid that they never give a thought to preparing for the unexpected, doesn't translate into making fun of them. It's more like: You made your bed, you lie in it and stop whining!
I do not know how you jumped from laid off from work to being diagnosed with cancer-I guess by the same logic of those who compare Bush to Hitler, while comparing Hussein to Ghandi. I do not laugh at those stricken with Cancer-I watched a brother-in-law die with Malanoma, and I myself have had several skin cancers removed. I am not however whining for sympathy. It was I who spent too much time in the sun, expecting my pasty white transulucent skin to become an outdoorsey bronze. It is I who pays the Dermatologist several times a year spraying pre-cancerous mutations and for the occasional removal of cancers.
I truly sympathize with the stupid, but have only contempt for the ignorant.

Idiot! People do not choose to have cancer...people do however choose to live beyond their means and turn down good jobs in their 60's. Your moral equivalence of the two is typical of liberal think--shame on you!
