There's an ebay auction for a baseball player's hair, and the winning bid was for over $10k. The proceeds went to charity. Now, I understand that this is capitalistic America, where people earn money and can do whatever they want with it. Also, the money went to a good cause. i understand all of that. However, I always like to stir things up, and try to show different perspectives on things for people to consider, so I'll say something along the lines of: "Some has $10k to toss around to buy a baseball player's hair, while far too many people wish they had $10 to feed their family for the day" My whole point is that rich people take their money for granted, pissing away thousands upon millions on disposable things. The amounts they blow, some people won't even make in a lifetime, or in lesser extents, they'll blow 6 months to a year's worth of income for other people, on something like someone else's hair. There are hard working people who wish they had a fraction of that just to provide the necessities for their loved ones. That's my whole point. Sure, it went to a great cause, but I really doubt that the buyer had that in my, the buyer just wanted his favorite player's locks. The problem is, people take it at face value and don't think that I understand the obvious, and will condescend me. I deal with this all the time in life, bring something up to make someone contemplate the alternate possibilites, and that person will argue the obvious truths of the matter as I roll my eyes, because I already know.
