Posted by "He who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing." One should never be shocked by the price of anything. It is merely an offer to sell at the specified asking price. Only if the owner has a monopoly on a highly beneficial product may one sniff at the price. History will record whether the seller was successful in attracting a buyer [or buyers.]

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: "A fool and his money are soon parted." The world is stuffed with awful daubs over which the super rich compete for ownership. I would hesitate to use one of these daubs as a doormat simply due to its poor functionality for such a purpose. Others use them to [partially] conceal their hideous taste in wallpaper in their sprawling mansions and equally tasteless palaces.

The rich are as much hidebound by the conventions of their class as any other. A pitfall many might envy, but thank the gods, I am not Chump!! Mind you, if he had not existed then you would have had to invent him. Somebody has to help lift Hillary to power. You've had your token black person and you hated him. Now you can have your token woman and hate her too. It will help to soften you all up for the overtly gay Mexican and [finally] the Chinese dictator you were all really waiting for, but were too afraid to ask? ;-)

Narcotics and usenet don't mix well...
