This guy buys a Mercedes Maybach while everyone else is living like a pig?

Marz, you gave all of your money to charity and take the bus to your job at the homes-for-humanity worksite, right?

Oh, sure, there's a difference, of course. He's supreme overlord of Africa by birth and you had to work for your beemer, but it's hard for anyone to sit in their air-conditioned living room, typing on their cordless keyboard to be too critical of someone who lives in luxury while others in his country live in poverty.

Acutally I give quite a bit to charity through auto-payroll deductions, I walk or bike (weather permitting, which is 99 percent of the time in SoCal) to my civil servant/public education job.

Aside from having the birthright, he is also the leader of his country. He has monumental control and responsibility for what happens to the majority of his people. I don't, or you could bet there'd be less hungry people on the streets, and more naked girls riding motorcycles on TV.

The gap is much wider between that king and his average person, than myself and say President Overlor-errr Bush.
