The love of Money is the root to all evil.
Money is also the most lusted after object in our world- the dream for nearly every living person. The believe of "if only we had more money, THEN we'd be happy"governs the minds of men and women alike.
Children, and even some adults, when asked what they want to be when they grow up, often answer "rich".
What's the point?
But . . .
with money you could always purchase your very own NHL team!
Or so I discovered yesterday when my sister informed me that my cousin has purchased the Pittsburgh Penguins, and is now working on moving them to Kitchener Ontario!
I was dumbstruck when I read about this. And it made me wonder, is there really any joy in possessing that much money. It is far too much money for them to even know what to do with, enough that they need not think twice about buying an NHL team! Such a wealth is all but a dream for the majority of the world, but for those few people who have it, it is merely reality.
-it is easier for camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven-

I think that putting money as the emphasis of your life is foolhardy cuz it doesn't bring you anything but earthly goods...which do us no good...but if that wealth was to bring an NHL to Kitchener...it would put a smile on my face...but that doesn't make money good...cuz the Ducks will still be better
oh dear chris.... you refuse to live in the reality of the world. lol. maybe you should just become rich and make your own world in which the ducks actually are a good hockey team
Remember Krysta . . .the Ducks have Pronger now- my fellow Drydenite- they'll do well!
. . . well, better than last year anyways, which isn't that hard to do :P
Why god why?
Putting a team in Kitchener (metro population 400k... if you really REALLY stretch it ~5mil (with a vast majourity already being served by another NHL franchise... with another NHL franchise but a stones throw across the border)) does not make sense when you're removing a team from Pittsburg (metro population 2.3mil... but by the same stretch that brought Kitchener up to 5mil could easily bring Pittsburgs metro poulation closer to 10mil)
And this is ignoring the fact REGIONS are not being served
(manitoba, saskatchewan, puget sound, the maritimes...
I'm sorry...
I would sooner support the flames being relocated to kithener...
Is this a 1st cousin lauren? Or is it more distat like 2nd or 3rd? Either way - this is soo cool!
The reason he wishes to move them to Kitchener is because he lives there! Plain and simple. (Well, and he can afford it)
Isn't it 'The love of money is the root of all evil' ?
