Anyone else fantasize about being godly, super-wealthy while everyone else is fighting each other over a scrap of bread? To be a patrician that watches slaves and peasants get eaten by lions in the Coliseum? Those must have been the days.

I think becoming a trillionaire may prove to be somewhat difficult lest inflation makes the dollar worth less than a cent. Unless, of course, you're referring to Zimbabwe dollars.

Anyone else think its bullshit that in the 19th century the government was giving away land, all you had to do was stake a claim and mange the land.

Now people are corralled into preset regions with overinflated home prices (unless its Detroit) and all the millions of free acres are off-limits government parks.
