Article on wealthy was ill-timed

The Sunday article in the Home and Garden section regarding the North Shore home is in my mind the most ignorant article for this country and peoples’ economic reality. Do you really think I read the article because I cared how the ex-president of some possible Wall Street brokerage firm handled his ugly duckling?

I read it because I couldn’t believe anyone would really write it, I kept looking for the punch line. I find it comical that Deborah Donovan thought it newsworthy to write how even the wife doesn’t know how much was spent. Really? That alone, during this economic time, is pitiful. What a waste.

If your article is typical of such families lucky to have such wealth, and choose to be so whimsical with their fortunes, this country is worse off that any of us understand. Possibly show this untimely, insensitive article to “Occupy Wall Street” — they should have a field day.
