Charities

Post by Chuck Mangione »

What do you guys think about the rich and healthy giving away money after they die? I think that's a load of bull. People should experience misanthropy and philanthropy through pessimism and optimism, not through giving or passing down what is known as nepotism.

Ain't it funny how Gates is the richest man and he has no idea how sex can create such a mishap as something as empty as the anarchist state we inhibit in these armagideon times?

I get what you mean but that is a rather blanket statement.

I think I should inherit Bill Gates' wealth.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yeah, maybe Chuck's working on a different wavelength, but I'm having trouble parsing the original question.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop

Wiggle - you can raise the dead
