I think all the important issues would be solved if everyone stopped thinking money and materialistic gains are more important than making the world better. So I would say greed is the root of all that is wrong, and therefore the biggest issue. Even equality is denied because someone is making more money as long as its unequal.

What would you do with a billion dollars?

I would seriously give the greatest portion away, people with money have problems too, they're just bigger problems. My families and favorite charities would benefit. I'd like to think I could do some good.

Have you ever quit a job purely because of dissatisfaction?.

Yes...but I had another job lined up before I quit...

If you could live anywhere...where would it be and why?

Right where I am living now.
It is a quiet country town yet close to Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York.
I always used to drive past the cottage I live in now and knew I would live there some day. It feels like I am truly at home here.


What was the last turning point in your life? How did it affect you?

[girl_dee]

My last turning point was very short time ago I came to Canada and realized this is home.


When was the last time you had an epiphany?

The day my wife died, I finally understood "We make plans and God laughs".

Have you ever stood up and defended anyone by placing your body between them and their attacker?

Yes, on more than one occasion. (And I would do it again in a second.)

Do you identify with an animal? Which one and why?

I would spend 250 million on a housing initiative and get architects suppliers and local governments to contribute, and build tens or hundreds of thousands of homes/homesteads/dwellings worldwide to be given away. Taxes to be paid from trust in perpetuity.
I would buy several blocks surrounding me for 20 million and offer free houses to friends and artists and musicians and actors and filmmakers and writers that I like.
10 million to pay off all the debt of relatives and friends and pay off their mortgages and several private gifts.
200 million to vaccinate against preventable childhood illnesses.
50 million to the American Visionary Art Museum.
250 million to build and fund a small American Folk Art and Craft museum.
50 million for an 8mm and Super8 film archive.
20 million to the library of congress film archive.
100 million for an agency to assist women and LGBT refugees.
The rest if there was any I would spend on a whim.
