Paying money to someone wealthy in trying to make yourself feel wealthy by
association only makes the wealthy wealthier and yourself less so.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

A business presentation at my workplace included a list of the "5 most
admired people" (admired, that is, by Forbes readers). The list was
comprised of: Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, a couple of entertainment-performing
celebrities whose names you couldn't pay me to remember, and someone else
(Obama, maybe).
Nobody on the list that I'd expect to both know (and give me an honest answer
on) the direction of sunrise.
I couldn't help thinking how different the list would have been if they'd polled
readers of Science News, Bible Archaeology Review, Christian Science Monitor,
National Review, BBC Music, IEEE Computer--or anything devoted to something
other than greed surrogates.
I grant you, the poll for Golf Digest and that
very-expensive-gas-guzzling-car-magazine-whose name I also can't remember might
have been very similar.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
