It's sad when things turn out that way and other people suffer because of it.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-79006679485385190642007-10-10T21:30:00.000-04:002007-10-10T21:30:00.000-04:00Donna, I just read all the delightful posts I've m...Donna, I just read all the delightful posts I've missed. I may have to drop back and comment on each. This one is pretty amazing. My nephew waited table in a posh country club while going to college. His stories of out-right unkindness still make me want to punch the lights out of the snobs he had to deal with.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-10054100465851892972007-10-10T14:06:00.001-04:002007-10-10T14:06:00.001-04:00What a humiliating experience for your father, and...What a humiliating experience for your father, and for you. My dealings with "the rich" have been rather limited, but I have noticed that "old money" tends to create avaricious cheapskates (like your Canadian/US dollars people) and "new money" tends to create that extravagant McMansion type. I agree with Pebbles about that sense of entitlement too.<BR/><BR/>My basic feeling about the super-wealthy is that too many people are starving for all that wealth to be concentrated among so few.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-78585675694526329032007-10-10T14:06:00.000-04:002007-10-10T14:06:00.000-04:00Those of us - who had Mothers who carefully darned...Those of us - who had Mothers who carefully darned our socks and scrimped and saved pennies to buy her children a special, long-awaited for toy - were rich.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-83235777498425672062007-10-10T08:57:00.000-04:002007-10-10T08:57:00.000-04:00A very interesting post.

But when it goes along with greed and attitude, it disgusts me. Not to mention the fact that being truly "rich" rarely has anything to do with money.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040757371778588395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-91660167410897669172007-10-10T07:21:00.000-04:002007-10-10T07:21:00.000-04:00What is most annoying about the rich is their sens...What is most annoying about the rich is their sense of "entitlement".

They are the rich I admire, not the snooty types who would fire a worker for something so insignificant in the big picture of life. I tell my children we are all rich in N. America compared to most of the world.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-45461148792240767832007-10-09T19:41:00.000-04:002007-10-09T19:41:00.000-04:00What an interesting post!
