So while taking a break I revisited one of my favorite text books from school and read the words of Socrates aloud;  love this passage from the “Apology”:

“Wealth does not bring about excellence, but excellence makes wealth and everything else goof for men, both individually and collectively.” 

In our current capitalist-based, 21st century world, some would argue this untrue?  Do you agree? (*hint: think of G.W. Bush)
