I think it is far more newsworthy to talk about all the other people in CT who are trying to make ends meet in these tough times. Why is hearing about a few billionaires important news to our community? Are they heros in some way? Are they doing some good with their money? Or just continuing to do what we have seen hedge funds and brokerage firms do all along? It was disappointing to see The Daily Fairfield put this as a top news story. View Comment

Wow. You hit the nail on the head. Do we all just need something to complain about? Personally, I love being able to sit and do nothing but watch soccer every Sunday in the fall and spring. The laundry and dishes will surely be there when I return home. And quite frankly, I appreciate having the excuse from housework. "How could I possibly weed this morning when I have a soccer game to watch!" Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. In regards to a comment made by a different reader, we all have a lot to do, not just moms (I am a mother of 3 with a full time job). This has much more to do with perspective than the length of our to do lists! View Comment
