It's funny how debates over whether money buys happiness always
focus on whether *more money* will "buy happiness" for those
already possessed of more than sufficient money.

Does anyone ever ask will money buy happiness for the mother whose
child will die from its own poison unless provided with expensive
anti-allergy shots from the ate of 1 to 4 or 5?

Does anyone ever ask whether money will buy happiness for the
family all of whom have to sleep, eat, etc. in the same room?

Does anyone ever ask whether money will buy happiness for the
family "surviving" on consideratly less than the daily minimum calory
intake per person (and most of that intake from cheap carbohydrates
and fats)?

Etc.
