    If we're talking about an occasional French fry, then OK, I'll give her that. But when it goes beyond that to massive multimillion dollar vacations because it's on someone else's dime, and slid thru under the premise of "official business" when it's a whoopee moment, well, then it's plain self-entitled moocherism. Problem is, it seems they don't know where to draw the line...

    She's absolutely right. When I travel, I'm always amazed at how people eat small portions and then splurge occasionally on a rich dessert. That's a better way to live, but I'm used to my fried curd, brats, and weighing 20 lbs (it sounds better to say a stone and a half) more than I should.

    Splurging should be something that you do for yourself. Not something that you do as a consequence of the force of a gun to the head of your fellow citizen.
