JON:

I'm not suggesting that happiness is immoral. It's where the happiness comes 
from that determines if it's moral or not. Too many people in this country 
are happy for the wrong reasons (and for that matter, too many people are sad 
for the wrong reasons).

Being happy about having lots of money, IMO, is less moral than being happy 
about saving someone's life. Would you agree? 

Jon
