Matt L asked:


With all of this news of foreclosures, major debt, and tumbling retail, are you a victim or did you actually live within your means? I know not all people deserved it and had their reasons, but the majority of Americans bought cars and homes they couldn’t afford, and were materialistic which screwed them over.

Do you feel sorry for them? And did you do the same, or sacrifice some things?

(AP) Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Thursday that a staff member for former Sen. John Edwards — a vocal critic of the retailer — asked his local Wal-Mart store for help in getting the potential 2008 presidential candidate a Sony PlayStation 3.

Edwards told The Associated Press that the volunteer “feels terrible” about seeking the game unit at Wal-Mart a day after his boss criticized the company, saying it doesn’t treat its employees fairly.
