In Reply To: As long as we are human there will always be greed. Jesus Christ couldnt stop it, Mohamed couldnt stop it, Joseph Stalin certainly couldnt stop it in the Soviet Union (look at the size of their black market even in the 1930's), Mao couldn't stop it in China (despite the cultural revolution). and finally any bleeding heart liberal granola protesting the world bank and the IMF (who actually help poor countries develop) who doesnt know sh*t about economics certainly wont stop it. Gecko: Greed is right, greed works, and greed cuts through to the essence our existance.
Message: But see 'Greed' connotes wanting for the sake of having. I'm not greedy, I just want 100 million dollars. Then I'll be satisfied. I'm not greedy, 100MM is just the amount I need to be able to live the lifestyle I desire.
