: D attitude, lots of latitude, multitude, and the occasional interlude! Off with the turpitude and on to infinitude!
All men have an inherent right to life, the right to self determination including freedom from forced or compulsory labour, a right to hold opinions and the freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial and freedom from torture. Be aware that these rights are universal and inalienable (cannot be given, taken or otherwise transferred or removed) although you do risk losing the aforementioned rights should you fail to uphold them e.g Charles Taylor; United Nations sources: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Professional...ages/CCPR.aspx. Also Charles I was beheaded on the 30th of January of 1649 for trying to replace parliamentary democracy with an absolute monarchy, the same should happen to Dr Phil and Stephen Fry; source: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ute-Monarchism.

Politics under a dictatorship is an entire different animal from such under a democratic republic. There are less players. The public has more relevancy in a democratic republic where as under my rule as emperor, they're just peasants and don't matter much aside from the taxes payed to the crown.

When I really think about my desires, they pretty much involve not being around people, so there'd be nothing to look down on. Not being around people isn't the objective, it's just a side effect. I'm not anti-social by any means, it's just that my desires take me to places where few people go and in ways that few people go. Frankly, I suspect that if I was rich enough to not need to work I'd probably be dead already. I don't make many bad decisions, and my instinctive reactions are generally the right ones, but even with that I've had my share of close calls that could easily have gone a different way. I've been in a rock slide that could have trapped me on a high peak, I've been struck in the head by a falling rock the size of a football (American), I've been narrowly missed by a falling tree in a windstorm, I've dodged other trees in a hurricane, the hypothermia possibilities are not worth recounting, and so on. If I were rich, I'd be doing more of that. Eventually, the dice might come up wrong.
Fair enough.....I see where you're coming from. However.....

There is something that the rich have that the rest of us don't.....Total freedom from worry. If they need a $20000 operation to save their life or the life of their children, they don't have to worry about where to get it. They don't have to worry about scraping up money for any of the necessities of life as they have money in abundance. They don't have to worry about things like monthly rents and bills like the rest of us do.
The rich have a security that I believe is well worth striving for. Otherwise, you're just cannon fodder out here without any guarantees.
