So true, even if we win the rat race, we are still rats! Except during Miller Time, when you must reach for all the gusto you can get! Good one Milt!

"scooping up everything you can grab" - this is often the case, and why hoarding puts stress on all of us.

Indeed. Just a hint of a shortage and the greedy make a raid on the grocery shelves.

It seems billionaires believe they can take it with them if they escape to another planet? Imagine the food and housing that could have been purchased with the $19-million paid to have lunch with Warren Buffett . . . . .Keep the hearse waiting! Aloha!

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Rico. The more they have, the more they want...until it becomes astonishingly outrageous.

Tom, I'm pretty tired and doped up, but the surgery went well. I've yet to see a hearse with a safe on top of it! You're right about this, Tom.
