  Of course my theme was 'money', not mere provincial wealth or riches. Nor of the characters of some means one may rub shoulders with at the local Toyota/Lexus dealership or the nineteenth tee.
  
  Money, that was once a near universal means of exchange and is fast becoming nothing but a intellectual construct.
  From the history of industrial magnates and the talk of Millionaires we have driven down the real value of money. Who now wants to be a common or garden Millionaire in a world of multi-millionaires, Billionaires and multi-billionaires?
  Our most recent age of happy-clappy Croesus-creating click-festivity where first there was almost immeasurable wealth and then there was none has left most of the world indebted to make-up a shortfall with real-money where there was only the thought or semblance of riches.
  Doubtless in a world where money is reduced to little more than the marks I make upon the screen in front of you; fortunes won and lost in the blink of an eye, danger surely lurks, but not for the players at the table. Alas little or none of the money that was lost belonged, in any sense, to those who lost it and those who won cant get theirs unless and until they make beggars of us all.
  
  Soon there will be no more talk of pocket or purse the "Wealth of Nations" shall be reduced to the ever-increasing sets of digits on the data-base of secret bank accounts...
  
  Use it or lose it, I say.
