as a people be a slave to this abstract concept of values. All that
is important in this world is money and it makes me sick.I look forward to the hollocaust that will destroy the earth's ability
to hold life and then i will laugh when you see that you can't eat your money.Your money won't save your life. It is the truest form of evil upon this
earth, all that it stands for is corruption and greed. I wonder how you
can sleep at night as you clutch your money to your heart.
