I don't wish to demean your sense of value, or insult your understanding of wealth in general, but while I know what a diamond is, I have no idea what the Cullinan diamond looks like or how big it is, though it is presumably large since you mention it. I don't care either. <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.> I did see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London in 1974 but didn't get feelings of envy so I guess they left me cold somehow. There are always barbarian murderers around who would rob people. Being poverty stricken isn't better than immense wealth as you could see if you went to live in Sierra Leone or Liberia for the last few decades. <Immense wealth isn't 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. > I highly recommend immense wealth. It's great. It should be advertized. I am hereby advertising it. It's all it's cracked up to be. There are currently hundreds of millions of people, even billions actually, enjoying immense wealth compared with any other time in history. It's marvelous and becoming more so though whining bludgers don't understand that from their introspective self-centred hedonistic perspectives. Steve Jobs is a bit dead at the moment so I can't do that: <I suggest you go ask Steve Jobs, he can explain what I am trying to say much better.> Wealth is great. People who are hoping for a few corn cobs tomorrow know that it's much better than the alternative. Mqurice
