Message: [QUOTE="Weregoat, post: 1387035, member: 62741"] I think your political views really came through in this post. As somebody who was 'the poor kid' in school at a very rich high school, I can agree with you in some points - but also as somebody who had the flaw of doing nothing to furthur his own life for about two years - right up to the verge of being out on the street - I can say from life experience something is to be said for somebody who is out to earn money. Now, keeping it all for themselves is one thing. Greed is excellent motivation for some people - however I believe it should be turned off once you are not in a setting where you are trying to accumulate money (not at work). What you do with the money, however - is each person's choice. I respect you because you are willing to get down and dirty and give your own money to help those less fortunate than yourself, which means you have the switch - you can turn off the greed when you're not working - and even work for other people, should you so choose. However - wanting to have wealth and leave your loved ones with wealth when you pass - I'd say is no fault of character. But I'm sure the greed you mention is far worse. My Grandmother recently passed and the dispute over her wealth was ridiculous and lasted a long time - the greed of half my family showing as they fought tooth and nail for the last of her pennies - even though all of them would be well off - likely for the rest of their lives. So I agree - while my Grandparents had the greed to be successful in their business so to provide for their family long after they were gone (good), greed outside of a business aspect can be terrible. Which brings me to my next point - Haha. Also, I think I'll be buying your book. =P Also - I just read the thread from first post to most recent in near it's entirety, just wanted to thank you for taking your time to come answer questions with us. This thread has been here a little while and I never stopped by - but I'm glad I did today, and wish I had sooner. I would love to offer up a question but the other CC members seemed to harp on them really well. I think the entire concept of the book is something that a lot of players overlook entirely - yes - it's also a great way to make money. And if you evaluate the game from a business perspective - you're sure to be on the right track - and at the very least I expect to take away from it a few new outlooks for my poker playing. Thanks again. WG [/QUOTE]
