CULTURE: Get Away From it All in the Domillionaire's Republic

What do Moby, Charlie Rose, and Fareed Zakaria all have in common? A millionaire's timeshare in the Dominican Republic--or what will soon come to be known as the Domillionaire's Republic. Apparently the three high rollers have gone in on Manhattan investor and money manager Boykin Curry's 2,200 acre island retreat--an intended utopia for jet-setting creative types.

It's tragically ironic that our nation's richest citizens are, despite all of their money, still trying to achieve the creation of utopia. Somehow, neither Curry's elitist island Eden or Tom Monaghan's Roman Catholic pizza heaven sound like paradise to me. But maybe if they had unicorns...

I'm more into The World myself.

Whatever Charlie Rose does is fine with me. I mean comeon

"Charlie Rose was born in Henderson, North Carolina and graduated from Duke University with an AB in history and a JD from the school of Law. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and has received honorary doctorates of law from C.W. Post College and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. He is the recipient of the George Peabody Broadcasting Award, the Emmy Award and The CableACE Award."

Haven't you heard? Utopia is just an ocean platform away...

Hmmm, I'm three blocks from a polynesian beach here in Maui. They aint got nothing on me........

I've always wanted my own island.
But not somewhere tropical. I don't do well in the sun and heat.

Wait... there's a Pizza heaven? Why haven't I been told about this before?

Never was such a jewel held up before a hungry pirate's eye.

Gee, what a productive use of all that money when there's people in the world starving to death and dying of AIDS. These people are fucking cunts.

Marlon Brando had his own island. The dream is attainable!

no kidding

Thw World seems kind of freaky...

Are you trying to tell me I resemble a late life Marlon Brando?! I've been told that by better men than you. .

so because they have money they have to be a slave to all the sick and underpriviliged ? how absolutely horrible that people think that way.

Well, personally I find it horrible that people would squander money on themselves when they could use it to elevate their fellow man. How anyone can live in luxury when the world is full of the disenfranchised and the derelict is beyond me. Maybe if these people opened their hearts, and their wallets and used their money for good they wouldn't feel so unhappy that they need an island escape from the daily reminders that they prosper while others suffer through no fault of their own.
