Did some rambling negativity robot take over Rory's brain and start pounding at the keyboard?
I can appreciate your passion for the subject. It's an important subject -- one worth being passionate about.
You seem to have some deep-seated issues with the role of money in society, combined with the potential for people to become psycologically addicted to activities involving money. You better tell your friends to stay out of the business world and the market. We'd all be better off just moving into the woods to live a life of humlity and peace.
And what about non-money-related activities? Should Brad also never say the words "World of Warcraft" around his nerd gaming friends? What if one of them has managed to avoid it until Brad spills the beans to them? The feller might start thinking he's a level-two elf with magical powers and stop showing up for work in the morning.
If all this hard ranting is not just to stir up debate and create effect, then I think you should step away from poker for a while. It doesn't seem to be a positive force in your life. You're a smart, talented person who doesn't need it for income or whatever else you use it for.
