I am stunned by the calous remarks on this issue. You seem to hate people if they have anything. If they choose to help others you get them for caring and for having had a good job. That is the most hateful thing I have heard, this woman should be applauded for her willingness to help and not just sit in the house during her retirement. To those of you making th ehateful remarks, try volunteering sometime and get out of your own selfishness. As a volunteer hospital clown myself. I am stunned by the calous remarks on this issue.

It’s easy to cheer after 30 years of comfortable government paychecks, without the possibility of having h e r limbs blown off, mind. Something is decidedly swinish about this cheerfulness. So there.
