    I criticized the man once, indirectly, in my last post.

    As for the rest of it, yeah, you lose.

      This is refreshing.

      Buffett

      Though, I can think of better uses for the money. But I'm not really going to get into that. It would spark a useless, heated philosophical debate.
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        When was the last time you did anything charitable, be it donations or working for some charitable cause?

        When was the last thing you ever did anything selfless for another person?

          H.G. Well's When the Sleeper Wakes has just become a bit more prophetic.

          (For those who have read it, the main character goes into a coma in the late 19th Century and wakes up in the late 21st Century. He finds that, while he was "asleep," the millionaires of the world have been naming him as the beneficiaries of their wills. He now owns most of the world. His economic empire is run by an all-pwerful committee, which of course tries to have him killed. )

                I am just getting irritated with the attitudes of some people on Apolyton. They argue for the sake of arguing, they don't even say anything-they just want to disagree.

                                Why not just have the money divided up among his legion of underpaid, uninsured employees? They sure could use the money.
