This guy is building a huge home. I guess thats news. I know if I won the Lottery I would be building a huge home, there are several things I want that would take up a lot of space, and being the paranoid guy that I am I would have a sub basement that was basicly a bomb shelter living area.

What I find hilarious is this quote from the article...

Some question the morality of building a private home that large.

"Do you actually need to have that amount of space to live a good life?" said Susan A. Eisenhandler, a sociology professor at the University of Connecticut. "There are homeless people. There are impoverished people. There are serious social concerns, and we're not addressing that."

Last I checked if one has money and property and obeys building laws there is no "we" in what they chose to build. No forced confiscation of money for the "homeless" or "impoverished". And further I wonder if this person has an opinion on people like Gates or Gore, the Clinton's or the Bush's.
