Let’s build Mt. Love More

I was once in a band we called Too Much Fun, from Commander Cody’s song. There’s a whole lotta things he never done, but he ain’t never had too much fun.

We just never get enough, do we? How much is enough? How much is too much?

Too much of anything is bad. We all know this. Even Plato and his boys knew this thousands of years ago. That’s why they came up with the Golden Mean - that is, moderation in everything.

Maybe that doesn’t sound sexy. But it is. Just enough is always the right amount. Too much always makes us unhappy. Make you own list. You’ll see.

Yet we mindlessly plow on, accumulating whatever there is to accumulate and it’s never enough. Things don’t make us happy. We think they will until we get them, and then we realize that wasn’t enough.

We worship Greed, which I believe is still one of the Seven Deadly Sins. It’s #2 after Pride, and before Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.

Too much.

We all want to be loved. I think we would be loved if we left the world better off because we'd lived.

I propose that we build a new monument like Mount Rushmore, but bigger and better. It will be called MOUNT LOVE MORE.

You get your face on it if you give away the most money to a charitable non-profit foundation dedicated to improving ALL of our lives.

There are over 3,000 billionaires in the world today. They’re worth a total of $16 trillion. One guy (and it’s almost a guy, isn’t it?) has more than half a trillion all by himself. Woohoo!

If you build it, they will come. If not, we’ll have to think of another way.

So, vote Rick for King ’28.

Paid for by no one. No corruption. Not a robot.
