[E. Pluribus Unum]

To engage a thief in the details of his plunder is to miss the fundamental point and concede that it is ok to set rules on things like private property.

I did nothing of the kind, Sir High-Horse. I pointed out to Willie Boy that he was wringing his hands in jealousy completely gratuitously, as an exercise in mental masturbation.

I'll give some thought to changing my screen name to that, It has a nice ring to it. :-)

In the mean time, you made the statement that it (wealth) dissapates after a while. Which sounds to me like you addressed his point, namely that it is a problem if it doesn't. His point should be discarded or disputed at it's fundamental level along with his class envy, not engaged as if it had intrinsic value.

My point wasn't personal, although it may have sounded that way. I apologise.
