Well, I don't think this is just avarice and greed.  These people are 
trying to rebuild their lives, and are in a great deal of pain while
in the process.  I don't agree with their tactics/strategy for the
same reasons as yourself, but when an animal, *any* animal suffers
enough pain, it will lash out.

Many people use this term to mean that they are not in control of the
events around them, and that it is appropriate for them to recognize
this.  This  allows them to build/maintain healthy boundaries to 
allow them to operate in the world.  Some people do erect walls 
instead of boundaries, tho....sigh.
