#California We toured Hearst Castle today. The man had enough money to feed several Third World nations, but spent it instead on a hideaway for the rich, powerful, and famous.

On the other hand, great works of architecture and art typically happen only a rich and powerful person commissions the work.

The place is filled with artwork acquired from around the world. I wondered how people in Egypt, Italy, Ireland, etc. feel about seeing their great works of art here and not there.
