Wayne -
I completely understand where you're coming from. I have a hard time feeling bad for people in my neck of the woods that are having a hard time meeting their mortgage pmts., but have a brand new truck and trailers full of $10K snow machines and dirt bikes in their driveway. (I haven't peeked in any windows to see what their TV status is).

My wife has started a local christmas time tradition (brought from elsewhere) of selling luminaries - small candles inside paper bags that line the streets and driveways in your neighborhood - In just 3 years it has grown from just our neighborhood to town-wide. All proceeds benefit our local Hunger Coalition. It's a nice tradition because it involves EVERYONE in the community as the luminary effect is fantastic when everyone participates.

I don't know if that helps you feel better about the big TV or not, but I'd feel the same as you I think.

Tom
