It sometimes amazing how even the most accomplished, intelligent people can be swayed with misleading rhetoric and specifically redacted or woefully incomplete information. OWS is not a civil rights movement, unless the 99 is declaring some new minority status . . .which is an oxymoron . . . . wait I think it is . . . at least in part.

If you work hard and earn a lot do you BECOME evil if you get rich . .. . OR can ONLY the ALREADY EVIL ... become Rich ??

I understand business must make a profit to survive. But when money and the bottom line become more important figures than the negative impact on societies and ecosystems then I'd say we've got a problem on our hands. But don't listen to anything I have to say; when our planet is so fucked up beyond the means of supporting most life systems--When Earth finally says, "What is this nasty infection spreading all over my body?" and decides to cleanse herself--maybe then we'll understand that all our money and material items don't mean shit. And I'm just as much to blame as anyone else is.

Good morning fishb8.

Very good question. To expand on that point:

  1. Is a very successful Mom and Pop operation "evil" if it does well financially..

  2. If not, then at what point did that Ben Franklin store in Bentonville, Arkansas, become so evil (as so many think it is today).

  3. What is the relationship between "evil" and "envy"
