Ok This is going to be the last word on this thread or im going to have to reach out and bitch slap the lot of you... (isn't that inflammatory)
But the truth is (in my not so humble opinion) 1/ To be as obsessed with money/power as BG is dictates that you have no taste. 2/ A suit (Amani or otherwise) does not equate to taste. 3/ The rich people i've me that have taste/charisma have as much skill/learning in these areas as they do in making money, which is why you find more in 2nd and subsequent generations than you do in first (where money is the primary requirement) 4/ The ultimate achievement is when the person is so highly developed in this area that you simply appreciate them for their style (and feel it would be a waste if they didn't have the money to express it) 5/ BG will never have style, he lies to much (to get money) and dresses abismally, Larry ellicson on the other hand....

Hell no. > Otherwise you go to hell when you > die. You do not have to be religious to understand the analogy. You have to be religious to think that you go to heaven if you care what god thinks of you and you go to hell if you do not care what god thinks of you. I tell you what - when I die I will come back and let you know what it is like. Stay tuned all - Sam will let you know what happens after death.
