Dave Winer had an interesting post, triggered by Barbara Streisand’s money:
I have opinions about what money does to people because I have been lucky enough to have money do it to me. Having money is nice, but not nearly as nice as poor people (which I have also been) imagine it is. But then I wondered how other people deal with money, and I wondered if they all reach this conclusion.
Now, I’m sure I’m right that money doesn’t buy happiness, but when you first get that message, what’s your response? I think perhaps some people go into denial, and insist that it must.
There are some exceptional links in that post – enjoy yourself.
