I get it - but I think it is line drawing and therefore subjective and it is in many ways hypocritical because few if any that I know of live their lives by such rules on a comparative scale. Who here has not made an unnecessary and comparatively extravagant purchase when there are starving people in the world. I mean who has not thought, I would like an ice cream sunday today and then bought it. I think all would agree a sunday is not a necessity and if everyone put their money for such things into a general fund - there would be no world hunger. Sadly, there would also be no sundays. Thus, I begrudge no one for doing such - not even W and his cronies.
P.S. - if sundays are too trivial - then what about a more expensive car or house. No one needs more than a one room house - maybe two rooms with a kid or two. No one needs the more expensive furnishings. Yet, we all do it.
