Re: Ethical question: What would you do if...

$1 million is still a penny shy of $999,999.99, so first I would look at it, take a drink, and put the cap back on, but I wouldn't finish the drink by the end of the meeting to be able to take it home.

Then there, I would call whoever to get the 9 hundred thousand something bucks into my bank account. Then to breach the million buck mark, I would sell my current house, and all of its belongings, everything, to start off with a clean slate. I would keep my bike though, and some raggity clothes.

Biking downtown looking poor I would seek a real estate company who knows where some open land is, purchase that land (with the guy looking at me wonder being in the poor man's clothes), then design, build, a small but awesome house and equip it with a high end media center computer and a flat panel LCD display, some modern furniture, and overall and efficient designed house made of brick. The T1 line would be ordered, and a small server installed in the house for my own web space. WIRED! to say the least.

I still see at least $500,000 being left over, so I'll start a business dealing in whatever and watch it grow and give jobs to a poor community badly needing it. I'd offer scholarships to the smart but who were denied scholarships due to some odd thing.

And with whatever leftover money there is, I would buy up a lot of those KOPs, some good material, and machines. What to do with all that:

Gundam anyone???
