    Stephen King has a sick, twisted mind.

    By the way, what was the article about?

    I think it is the uber-rich celebrities, not your old fashioned uber-rich person that sqwarks about this issue. Although you don't see many athletes making this case ... seems more to do with media celebrities.

    There are a few business people sprinkled in like Warren Buffet (but let's be honest folks, he's 81 and could be losing his marbles).

    Me ... well, I'd rather they invest in causes they are deeply committed to and can help steer in the right direction.

    I would strongly disagree with that, but I assume you are joking...at least a little bit.
