Philanthropist

Contributed by randyjohnson on Tuesday, 6th September 2005 @ 09:27:17 AM in AEST
Topic: fictional



They just found tons of oil on my property.
Yesterday I was poor and now I'm like the Beverly hillbillies.
But instead of spending the money for myself, I'm going to use it to help mankind.
I'll give to the homeless, the church and every charity I can find.

A couple of people have told me that it's stupid to be a philanthropist..
But I believe that's why God intended me to exist.
When we see so much suffering in the world, we know it isn't fair.
Thank God I can help so many people now that I'm a billionaire.

Something like that actually happened not so long ago. A poor farmer from the Limpopo Province, South Africa became a multi millionair when a big mining company descovered that the farm was situated on a rich platinum core or something like that and they ammediatly bought the farm from the farmer. What he did with his new found wealth, I dont know.
