[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saltah'na: [QB] I don't think that Mr. Black knows what the actual food fare is. Irate Disgust? Fine, I have irate disgust for this man, a man with no care for whatever happens to anyone except himself. He dishes out bile like there is no tomorrow, and when anyone has the gall to question his views, out come the libel lawsuits. The fact remains is that this man thought himself higher than anyone else in society. He believed himself to be THE Upper Crust and those who weren't to his level were ingrates. Philanthropy just wasn't his thing, since it involved mingling with the dreaded "common folk". If Conrad Black would suddenly roll over and die tomorrow, there wouldn't be any mourning. No one would care for the fate of such an indignant person. When Mr. Mirvish died, his funeral had a lot of coverage, as walks from across society came to honour the man who was indeed Toronto's philanthropist. Even Kenneth Lay, who died after being convicted received some sympathy. Despite the aura of criminality around Lay, the common thing between Mirvish and Lay was that they both came from poor families and earned their wealth. Truth be told, when Jeffrey Skilling and Bernie Ebbers were convicted on white collar crime and sentenced to jail, some people wondered how they would end up. Like Mirvish and Lay, both Skilling and Ebbers came from simple families. However, Mr. Black came from a rich, and privileged family, that and his lifestyle gave birth to his harshly negative attitude towards "common folk". He never had a real opportunity to work for his riches, it was already handed to him. Simply put, to many people, including Canadians, Conrad Black is the epitome of the worst in corporate greed. He acted as if his company was his oyster, without regard to the people who were actually running it. Lay, Skilling and Ebbers may have brought down bigger companies, but it was Black who defined the absolute notion of Greed in society. It is no surprise that there are a lot of people who would agree to hope that Mr. Black SUFFERS in prison. [/QB][/QUOTE]
