Yes Woods we were off topic. And a serious topic it is too. I do feel that Prodigal Son and my posts were on topic, in a broader sense.
As for the Formula One heiress, I find it an indication of something very very wrong in this world.

At least the Spelling Mansion in LA finally sold for it's asking price of 150 million and JP Morgan Chase has reported record profits. How bad can things be?
They are stuffing their pockets with our tax dollars and with debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay for. We are being enslaved by debt and inflation is raising the prices of everything and destroying the value of our savings. We will be taxed to death to pay for this (while they get special tax treatment). GE got billions in our money, has billions in record profits, but paid no tax last year. The GE CEO sits in the White House. The Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat. Taxes are for the little people. The Chairsatan of the Federal Reserve is destroying our currency, and will put us in the poorhouse.
The Prez said he was going to spread the wealth around. Yeah right. In fact he is. This regime is picking our pockets and giving it to the banksters, it is no different than what we had before under Bush. The Constitution is dead. There is no Law. They get unconstitutional bailouts, but the middle class gets stagflation, taxes, and misery. This can't last forever.
You got most of it right. However I think you are smarter than to think that this administration has a damn thing to do with it. This is systemic, and it's happening in many parts of the world, as evidenced in the op on the other thread. You and yours love to say it's the governments fault, the government is evil, it should be "reduced to the size where it can be dragged into the bathroom and drowned in the bathtub". But you never look at who is controlling the government. Follow the money, the government is simply a tool given us by the founding fathers. Who warned us that it could be used by monopolies, bankers, and corporations to our detriment, if we let it. Well, we are and have been for at least 30 years.

Who do you think was more evil, Berengeria -
The Spelling family, or the Ecclestone family?

Neither one that I know of Woods.
I think the system and those who would manipulate it so that the Ecclestones and Spellings can live in such excess while others go hungry is what's evil.

But in the paradise earth the new system will have everyone living exactly at the same level of wealth and having fruit picnics every afternoon with their vegatarian lions and tigers.
It will be like socialism, only better.

Candy is just facing reality and downsizing...her new condo is, in her words, "smaller than the attic of the house." Attic, 17,000 sq ft......Condo 16,500 sq ft.
