 Eddyboy...............please don't misunderstand me...........I have absolutley no problem with them owning anything they want and/or using up any amount of petroleum that they want.  They have, without question, earned it.  I applaud their ingenuity, business sense and success.  What I do not applaud is the hypocracy of people of this status that preach one thing and then do another on the assumption that they are "special" and think that they are above the values they preach.

Bottom line...............I am not an eco-nut............I have 2 gas-guzzling SUV's and a huge house in the desert with big AC usage.  I enjoy other people's success!  Hmmmmmmmmmm!  Wonder what kind of watches they wear? :D :D :D

Oh, never mind..............that's typical celebrity behavior!     Ken, we all know you are a strong willed individual, but I wonder what several $$billions increase in net worth would do to the attitudes of any of us.  While I disagree with the appropriateness of the 767,  I think I can understand how they got there....A former employer of mine and a (more or less former) personal friend became a billionaire and now owns 3 personal jets. ...I hear he's looking into a personal jet that can safely fly to France from LA where he lives....This same guy used to haggle for hours when buying cars, and then drove them for a minimum of 7 years...Big.Money is a very, very strange drug
