I am not against wealth whatsoever.<br /><br />What I am against is unrestrained greed which has been heavily promoted since at least the 80's. The greed that makes people feel like they HAVE to have designer this or that - or they can't show their face - so they will cheat or steal to get it. The greed that makes us grab for stuff we don't need and fear letting it go. The greed that puts us deeply in debt to buy stuff that's broken and worn out before it's paid for. <br /><br />Greed that makes us do irrational things to satisfy that craving - that generally doesn't satisfy it anyway - needs to be addressed.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157576.post-19588620043362979942009-06-05T09:31:22.064+10:002009-06-05T09:31:22.064+10:00we're screwed, blued and all but tattooed, lex...we're screwed, blued and all but tattooed, lex!nanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809768490674110768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23157576.post-43837706725749691832009-06-05T09:09:31.659+10:002009-06-05T09:09:31.659+10:00Don't Bogart that joint, brother Obama...Don't Bogart that joint, brother Obama...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
