2.) Most USA citizens own their home and Hurricane Katrina - New Orleans turn their major assets into WEALTH DESTRUCTION.
3.) Yes, I carry around a 'personal book' on lightweight paper that could easly be 'obliterated.' WHY CARRY an apple phone, flash it and the ARMED ROBBERS and 'predators' follow you?
4.) Sure I am a bit extreme. Sure I made money the HARD WAY. paid my way thru school by part time work, scholarship, etc.
5.) Hey MILLIONAIRE - I PAY CASH to local merchants/friends/ room-mates. Plug in LIVE CD - Gentoo preferred or openbsd and THE CLOUD TAKES CARE OF YOU.
6.) OK. so I wear the tux and the bicycle is 50US$ used. upgarde it 100 $US. Paying for an expensive car and parking it in New York City?
7.) RUSSIAN JOKE - ancient - So, the scientist wears the supercomputer the size of a wristwatch. on wrist. BUT the catch is he has to carry a suitcase full of heavy lead batteries.
