Go ahead and ask anyone if they would turn down a check for, say, five million dollars. What do you think they�re gonna say? If you seriously think anyone�s turning that down you�re dumber than a bag of rocks. Sure, most people will end up donating some of it to charity out of guilt, but they won�t refuse it. There is even a handful of people who would donate the entire amount. But before you go thinking that these individuals aren�t greedy, let me assure you that they are. It�s simply not money they are greedy for, but attention. Getting their name in the newspaper and on TV and all that shit. They want everyone to know who they are. It�s the same fucking principle.
Personally, I have no problem admitting I�m greedy. I want all the fucking money. Not just all the fucking money I can get, but ALL THE FUCKING MONEY, PERIOD! I don�t think that�s too much to ask for. And I promise if I get all the money, then I�ll be really generous to the people around me. Then I can get my name in the newspaper as well. All the money and all the attention. Yep, I�m one seriously greedy bastard.
And I don�t have a problem admitting it. I know I�ve said this, and I�m probably gonna KEEP harping on it, because it�s important. People have a serious problem admitting they�re greedy, even though everyone is. It makes about as much sense as someone not admitting they like oxygen. It really is that dumb.
And greed affects all of us as well. Go ask Mr. Charitable WHY he has to donate all his money to, say some medical foundation or program. The reason is simple; doctors are fuckin� greedy too. And they�re not afraid to admit it, at least indirectly. A few years ago I had a kidney stone, and lemme tell ya, it hurt like a motherfucker. I went to my doctor, and he did some tests and told me what the problem was. He also mentioned there wasn�t much that anyone could do until it passed. Yay. Modern medicine at it�s finest.
The only other thing he told me was that if the pain got too bad, I should go to the Emergency Room to get some medication for it. And three or four days later that�s exactly what I did. At the time, I had no job, no money and no insurance. I told the nurses and the clerk there at the desk this, and they said not to worry. Then I saw the doctor and told him what my doctor had said. He also TALKED to my doctor that night, then decided I needed an MRI done so he would know what the problem was. Right, a $3,000.00 test for someone with no money, no job and no insurance, whose ailment you already know. That is GREED. Not to mention outright stupidity.
And the fact that a test that�s been around as long as this one has still costs that much is another testament to greed. It�s everywhere in our society. And by society, I mean Earth. The whole fucking planet. The government is greedy, asking for more and more of our money so they can bomb other countries and then spend more to rebuild them. Good plan, by the way. See a perfectly good building standing there, spend millions on the bombs to blow it up, and then spend even more to rebuild it. Once again, greed and stupidity mixed together.
So since it seems to be okay for everyone else, I figure there�s no reason for me NOT to be greedy. And I�m okay with that. I want it all, and that�s that. And so do you. C�mon, admit it. You know I�m right, you greedy bastard, you.
