Pleonexia

I find today that more is not enough. I have on hand a miniscule million. They say that current times are getting tough. I scarce must keep a fat bloody billion!

Pleonexia sure is an interesting word. Seems as if what's yours is mine - but what's mine is not yours. Sounds like the anarchists last summer who were shouting at upper class folks to give them their houses. 'Selfish Socialism,' I guess. ~ Gershon

Well said, Linda--it's never enough. I like the way you conveyed millionaires want to be billionaires.

Hi Vijay. And now trillionaires? When is enough, enough? I think it's not always the money, but often the power and fame.
