What do you folks think?

I don't that money is the root, just the lust for it or what people
think it will bring them.
How much does one need? "Gee I have a million bucks in my account,
but now I want 2 milion, or 20 million or even 200 million"
Brings to mind the guy who got indited for fraud by the Feds Dennis
Kozlowski of TYCO who threw a party with company funds for a million
bucks
ONE STINKING PARTY!
Or Enron or World Com or Authur Anderson or Abbernoff (?)or Tom DeLey
and the list goes on.
Then the people who hit a 100 million lotto ticket and within a few
years are broke, in jail, or dead.
How about the nakid guy on Survivor who figures: "I don't need to pay
taxes"
