Maniac Sits up with a snort. "Ah, the dangers of judging others..." I have seen the opposite, that they tend to be just like everyone else, just with bigger toys and better clothes. They laugh, they cry, people sometimes emitionally hurt them like everyone else, and when people they care about die, they will feel sad. In fact, while certainly not in this class myself, i had a good introduction into the latter condition a week ago when a fammily frie friend passed away and i attended the funeral and memorial service. And several friends of mine who fell into this category most certainly didn't act like that when i knew them, any more than anyone else that i knew. Those of you who percieve a unkind attitude about the rich ought to look carefully around the world. Very few people in general when met on the street come across as polite. Sad, but true. Mike, a round for the house. And for everyone, a toast: To better understanding. I do beleive that's what we're about. Lob...Krunch! -maniac
