Subject: RE: Moral or Ethical Question:BS
...since I am in a very feisty mood tonight over a dispute about the "rules" or our monthly Irish session (but that's another thread)my first response was I'd keep it all, a man that stupid would be dangerous with a large amount of money. Upon reflection I then decided that since it was his ticket money and he chose the number, he should be the recipient of all the money. A fee for the karma of doing his bidding might be reasonably extracted, but any legal wrangling would be too distasteful to me and I would refuse to participate if it went to lawyers for a decision. If I were to win such a large amount of money if I decided to take it (I'm not sure I would) I might set it up a charitable foundation and become it's administrator like the guy in "Testament." The notion of devoting more of my life to good works is a very attractive one and I've lately fantasized about a life of full devotion to good works...when my son leaves home. I too, am very content with just enough money to pay the bills, take some small trips and buy an instrument when I wish. I am already very very lucky to be able to support my family in such style, I think. harp
