1. I am concerned about his character. Or let me rephrase that, I am amazed to hear of a person so self-complacent that the prospect of certain death and the reflection of his life till this point only lead to him readjusting his interest in sportscars. One would have thought that he would have met other patients who do not have money to throw about, who do work hard in a honest profession, this resulting in him developing some kind of compassion for his fellows in misery. Guess not...
2. To all who get worked up and accusing me and others who have agreed with me so far of envy, please be assured, I have absolutely no material interest in what he or any other man does with his riches. Yet with them there come obligations towards the community, which are not dealt and done with by paying taxes. At least not in my understanding of the inner workings of a community of values. Btw, if paying taxes makes you all green-eyed and evil, why not move to the Cayman Islands? I have heard they welcome Scrooge-like moneybags with open arms.
