You must realize ALMonty that about 70% of the human race is just plain ignorant and stupid, and then there is that 10% who are nothing but a bunch greedy bastards, and about 10% who are complete and utter idiots, like those bidding on those items. Another 8% are just plain rich and could care less about the rest of the human race. Then there is that 2% that help others, like Bill Gates and several others, me included. If anyone, and I do mean anyone, has money they don't need to live on, they should be helping others too.
