An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.

The Menzies Hotel in Sydney ... very ritzy.

I  write often of greed being an addiction. It is one of the addictions that people refuse to look at usually.  It is socially acceptable, it makes you look good, new everything always does.  It is disguised as success.

Now its crunch time because everyone has to look at their spending habits.  The trouble is coming down fast around the world.  The trouble in politics has made everything we have ever known uncertain and there are people rising up all over the planet - they are all saying the same thing in different languages, they are all saying "Enough is Enough".  The People get the government they deserve is a saying I have heard and I would say this is true because the blind who crave money voted with $$$ signs in their eyes.

Plutarch obviously saw the same things in his time, so it would be safe to say "Nothing has changed".
