I have trouble combining these two sentences:

> I do not resent him having money or having fun with it.

and

> Pulling up junk from the ocean bottom? Nah, that's bullshit.

What if he enjoys pulling junk up from the bottom of the ocean?Is it still bullshit if he's just doing it for fun?

And, really, he's doing the future people a favour in reducing the number of future 'Antithykera mechanisms' to baffle future archeologists.



And that's OK. This is my moral stance and mine only. Let's not make more of this than what it really is.


And I say you are completely wrong. Even though you are saying you are not trying to tell him what to do in really you are trying to tell him what to do with his money.

If you were truly a libertarian you would not even comment about how he should be spending his own money.

Oh, please.
