"Now you're confusing social status with power; the two are related but not identical. Having power gives you social status, but being wealthier than someone doesn't necessarily give you direct power over them."

lol

(If the rich don't have "direct power" over the poor, then explain to me just how the hell they pull some of the crap they do.)

Now I thought "natural selection" was biological and not controlled by outside influences.

The distribuion of resources, usually controlled by the influence of "politics", since politics is literally who gets what in a society; whether it's right or wrong, who knows, is really unevenly balanced. Hence, our 3 major social classes of lower, middle and upper.

Do people of a lower social hierarchy really want to be in that upper class? Of course they do, but the upper class has to control to the lower hierarchies, so they do not lose their control of influence of power.

Thus, greed is born. We all want more out of life, unless you're one of those people that want to fulfill enlightenment rather than materialistic goods.

Anyways, that's just the basic point I wanted to hit on, to analyze how the basic forms of greed are created, social hierarchy differences.

I stumbled across a very odd action RPG on SNES back around '96. My father brought it home from Europe after he was there with the airforce. The game was known as Terranigma.

I am wondering if any of you have tried out that game at any time in your lives and, if so, what reactions have you had to it. Most of you probably never even heard of id because it was never released in the states.
