RE: " I find I know wealth quite well"

Well, its obvious you understand wealth on the primal scale, i.e. you can interpret its value in terms of corn cobs and hunger. You get 5 stars for that.

I don't mean to be insulting here MQ but I'm going to take a WAG that your immense wealth couldn't purchase the Cullinan Diamond.



But for arguments sake let's assume it could.

Now given you express a elementary understanding of the CONCEPT of starvation, I will say that if ever you were to be in a position where you would be willing to trade such diamond (or a handful or two of them) for a piece of bread (or maybe a kidney) you will have advanced to the next level.

Immense wealth isnt all its cracked up to be... I certainly wound NEVER advertise it... the last thing you want is to get a postal with grandchild's ear or finger requesting the above exchange.

In the mean time... carry on --> tear down your existing silos and build bigger ones so you can store more cobs of corn.

I'm sorry, this conversation has gone beyond me... I suggest you go ask Steve Jobs, he can explain what I am trying to say much better.
