Based on H. L. Mencken's definition of puritanism as "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy", Ming is right up there with Cotton Mather.
The disgruntled Ming would hate to think anyone is enjoying the great roulette wheel called the stock market whilst poor Ming is wallowing in miasma.
The next guy Ming sees on Wall Street with a smile is going to need treatment for hydrophobia as a rabid Ming bites him on the ankle.
Naturally, should Dendreon's Provenge receive approval, Ming will instantly transmute into Voltaire's Pangloss, seeing this as the best of all possible worlds.
