owning it, by the name of Eric L. Smidt.

Thanks for the link. I read it somewhere and had doubts . Pat

He got a 35% discount on the $70m asking price. Figures.

"The importance of morality is that people behave themselves even if
nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws to replace
personal morality as a means to produce a civilized society. Indeed,
the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of
defense for a civilized society. Unfortunately, too many of us see
police, laws and the criminal justice system as society's first line
of defense." --Walter Williams
