Hawks, I agree with the thought that our society has become too materialistic. I have two wealthy sisters. And we we like eat out together, I sit quietly while they try to outdo each other on name brand stuff they own or worship, what fancy restaurants they have been to lately, or what expensive vacation or cruise they have planned or wealthy people thy have been with recently. I usually leave bored to death. In some respects our society has become way too materialistic.
I got to run, got an appointment with my Mercedes dealer, and lunch at the Woodhill Country Club after that.
