Apparently, a geek would buy 500 black-market clones of himself, while the narcissist would most likely build "a monument similar in size and scale to Mount Rushmore, featuring his own face.""

    Through inaction....

    It would take an obscene amount of money to feed everyone that is starving in the world, provide the infrastructure necessary to send the food everywhere it needs to go, and insure that they will be able to provide for themselves in the future.

    3,000,000 people die each year from starvation/malnutrition.

    Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffet, Paul Allen.

    These are the men with just enough "obscene amount of money", but have failed to act.

    Bill Gates alone makes more money in a year than the bottom HALF of the united states combined.

    3,000,000 counts of manslaughter per year.
