leeneia	BS: Does money cause delusional thinking? (92* d)	RE: BS: Does money cause delusional thinking?	22 Jul 18
Money causing delusions? On a recent tour I saw the empty site of a splendid home on a Florida island. It had been built by the brother and partner of Andrew Carnegie as a summer home. It was inherited by his grand-daughter, who when old, would rouse her sons and grandsons to go out at night and shoot at poachers. (They could see the poachers' campfires.) One night a bullet got a poacher in the leg. Not long after, the mansion was burned down - I hope when nobody was in it. Everybody on the tour but me gave a sigh. I thought, "I'm not surprised." What is it about being super-rich that made them think they could shoot guns at tough, isolated, illiterate country people and get away with it? What made them think they could risk murdering someone over a lousy deer?
