Once again you crazy people make a mockery of human civilization.

Can you believe this?

Razor Blade:
Proves again if you have enough money and are "high up" in the society you can do just about anything.....it's sad but it's true

money=power....

Soul Sojourner:
Money is a weakness as well, when people try to get what you have. Or abuse you because you have it.

Knowledge and intelligence are true power!

Galileo had knolledge and intelligence(I feel stupid repeating myself here) but he was powerless to change his fate.

See, money is power, the church had the money, they had the power, they canned Galileo!

Oh dear.

Galileo had money too.  FYI, he was a business man first.  He only invented the telescope because he saw a market for it.  He cashed in pretty handsomely with it too.  He noticed it's uses for military needs not for gazing at the planets.  Venice was pretty powerful military wise and being able to see enemy ships way before they can see you is pretty powerful stuff.  So he tried setting up a deal with Venice where he'd produce the telescopes and they'd pay him royalties for using them.  Residual income! Smart man.  I don't think his original business plan was accepted though.

It wasn't money that made the church powerful.  It was fear.  They gained wealth as a result of their power.
