The Stupidity of Luck

I don't believe in luck - not entirely. This is why I could hardly believe the story the Associated Press printed about Powerball winner Jack Whittaker. How is it that stupidity and luck always seem to go hand in hand ? How is it that the fairness of luck can't be evenly distributed among the people ? (I mean, the homeless and the poor need a break too sometimes....) I guess that's why Whittaker won the $315 million dollars.

After taxes, Whittaker pocketed $113 million of his total earnings and lost it all completely. And to what did he spend this large amount of money ? SHIT !
He's said that "a team of crooks cashed checks at 12 City National Branches and 'got all of my money'..." Yes, Mr. Whittaker, an entire team of professional crooks timed the entire withdrawal scheme in order to rob you of your money, just like freedom in America depends on the deaths of soldiers, and the freedom of Iraq, and their oil.
....the morons just keep on coming.....
Did he even stop to think about how these so called thieves got the checks in the first place ? Whittaker must've been really drunk to sign off huge amounts from his checkbook to people he considers as "thieves". But that shouldn't surprise anybody since he's proven that he is a gambling alcoholic, who writes bad checks and could be a violent man capable of murderer. But yet he still insists that a skilled team of professional thieves withdrew all his money.

Wake up, Mr. Whittaker ! Checks don't write themselves ! There wasn't a highly trained force who had someone brainwash you into writing checks for large amounts, and then collaborating to destroy you in one felled swoop ! Chalk this up to a theory I call "One-Worldism"(and I will explain and use this theory in further articles) - Whittaker believes that the whole world is out to get him due to the problems and hardships he's had to deal with since he won the jackpot - the death of his granddaughter, the theft and destruction of his private property, and business. So Whittaker believes that the whole world is out to get him; him and nobody else.
That's why he lost all of his money, that's why he's a binge drinker, and that's why he may face murder and assault charges. God forbid that he would use some of the money to remember his granddaughter by donating to a charity or setting up a scholarship fund, or something to that effect....
....But I feel you, Mr.Whittaker...I really do. I know of a guy who's daddy was almost killed by a gas-wielding maniac thousands of miles away, and he reacted the same way you did....and look how good it all turned out to be !

Still, idiots like Mr. Whittaker get a large amount of money for doing nothing, while the rest of the world suffers from poverty, lack of education, and healthcare, and housing. Mr.Whittaker is nothing more than a wasted medium for a resource that so many others could've used in a fitting manner, but thems is the breaks - nothing is ever fair in this life. I think the Bible had the right intentions when it said the meek would inherit the earth, but the reality is that the morons have all the power, and don't know when to use it, right Georgie ?
The bottom line boils down to this question when pondering the mystery that is Mr.Whittaker : Why is it that we don't hear that many stories like this about previous lottery winners ?

Simple, they aren't morons.
