So, let me get this straight, Lee takes a LOWER paying job to try and improve his country, which when coupled with the housing burst (a FEDERAL government caused bubble/burst at that) results in his house getting short sold, and this makes him a "scumbag"? Really? I have a cousin who just lost his house in a similar manner, the reason for his inability to keep up on his mortgage.....he put a higher value on staying in town and not being out of state for 3-4 months straight twice a year. Is he a "scumbag" as well? If so, me thinks being a "scumbag" in VOR's book is a GOOD thing!
