In response to your spleen:
Well, its obvious why people want money. Most people believe that having more material goods will buy happiness. They're sort of right, if they think that happiness is being contented by technology and fast things while living a static empty life, always craving more. But hey, in our consumerist society, that definition is becoming closer to the accepted truth all the time.
BTW, that line of yours, "Fame is the fungus that grows on talent", I've been proudly quoting that in my signature since you said it to me months ago. And it continues to remain just as true as it was then. Its a real shame that people worship the status of celebrity and equate fame with success. That's even more empty with wealth. Atleast money can buy things...
