What kind of cosmic imbalance allows people this out of touch with reality to amass the kind of wealth required to fund this crap? It would seem the same level of stupidity that drives this thinking would doom them to financial ruin in the first place.
I'm stumped.
At the end of the Roman Empire, Rome had some truly amazing buildings with people who had amassed vast sums of wealth. None of this helped, as spiritually they were as barren as a desert.
P.S. Not to knock deserts. I quite like the solitude of such open spaces.
