So speaks the man who lives in a golden palace :) Still, he does talk some sense. People are too hung up on having stuff with companies trying to influence us to buy more. There is something to be said for judging people by their actions rather than their possessions.

Have you read/seen The Name of the Rose? It features a debate between the Vatican and Franciscans about whether Jesus was rich and if they should own stuff. It's an old argument, but the church has always been rich. It's almost like people think they can buy their way into heaven.
