I am curious what your big goal is and why you think it requires "wealth" to accomplish it. You can email me if you don't want to state it publicly (my gmail is talithamichele).

Oh, it is very political and related to very long term thinking, if I disclose here the result will be a crazy flamewar (because it is a sensitive topic, that I know lots of people support, and lots of people think it is horribly wrong).

So, it is better not :)

Does it happen to involve an island shaped like a skull or a really really really large orbital mirror?

If so, are you hiring?

If it is politically sensitive, money may be the worst way to pursue it. If you cannot get grassroots support, probably better to leave well enough alone. But less ego gratifying, certainly. Feeding your ego is usually a really terrible reason to do something "political". Given your response, I would encourage you to spend some time wondering what your real goal and motive is.
On the contrary, money is the "best" way to pursue political ends, much more successfully than grassroots support.
Please notice that I put the word political in quotation marks. Due to his unwillingness to genuinely discuss it, even privately, I have no idea what it is. Most likely, neither do you.

Also, please stop bugging me. You have a track record of hounding me. You have done nothing at all to prove that aren't merely looking for new ways to harrass me.

Thanks.

I don't want to be a politician, and there are grassroots support already, but it is something that although affect politics deeply, it is also highly cultural.

I believe there has been a conscious efforts by my opponents to sneak their people into classrooms for generations, I cannot undo it, but I can try to sidestep it.

But I won't discuss here because the main point of the opposition was exactly make lots of people believe they are 100% right and that those they oppose, are not only wrong, but evil.

Look, I am really not trying to bust your chops. You could have emailed me. You chose not to. I am abundantly familiar with controversy and firestorms. That is why illuminate is harrassing me. He has a history of calling me a "quack".

I originally wanted to try to gently suggest that you may not need riches to accomplish something. I do not have riches. In fact, I am currently quite poor. But I am making in roads on a large goal. Due in part to the ugly attacks I get subjected to when I talk about this thing I am doing, I chose to not bring up what I am doing. But if you are going to accomplish anything in the world, at some point you have to discuss it with people in some fashion.

Anyway, this conversation seems pretty pointless and I am running a fever. Later.
