"The man who dies rich dies disgraced. " - ANDREW CARNEGIE (1835-1919)

...and he didn't mean - hand it all to your family...
why is it that the *Bankers* of this world seem so able to grasp the money, but unable to grasp the futility of the 10th and 100th million?

(*in the UK there is a rhyming word that sits right alongside this one)

sorry about the image of the 2 fisting fans...

That's how greed works - it's a perpetual cycle of wanting more. (LOL@ "the 2 fisting fans")

Rich bankers tell us to look away, they know what they are doing.

Poor bankers make us pay to stop them collapsing.

Once they have the money, they are once again rich bankers.

The world has finally noticed that it is bankrupt. About bloody time.

I think something happens when making money becomes more of a game than a survival prerequisite.

Money ceases to be currency and transitions into points instead. In most games, more points is the relative indicator of the better competitor. It's just another sport for some of these guys and a measurement of who they are, in their minds, in relation to others. It wouldn't surprise me if most had major self esteem issues at their core and need the points to convince themselves that they are worthy.

That picture says it all. Let's use alcohol as an excuse for excess behaviour and let's celebrate our victory associated with beating the lowly commoner who hasn't figured out how to play like we have. The fact is that they have figured out how to play, but when do you stop? There's always someone out there trying to take your points. There is no final play in this game.

I don't see them fisting each other...at least not in that picture. Maybe after they finish the bottle of booze, they'll be fisting each other. Either way, they look like bankers and bankers are always trying to stick it to somebody.
