Sure, and they do have a lot in common.

I guess everyone has to play with the cards they have been dealt and if one is rich one is obligated to protect that wealth. I have no problem with that so long as the "protection" does not involve taking over the government, criminal activity and making wars etc which it invariably does. Not that I am suggesting any other system but, whether we like it or not, capitalism does have an "ugly" face too.

Please understand I am not trying to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do and I am definitely not trying to impose my views on anyone -- I just like discussing matters which are of concern to us all.
