Larry Ellison

It's not the $300,000,000.00 home. It's not the tax deduction he got because his $300,000,000.00 home is "outdated" and therefore not worth as much as it appears because he'll have to spend EVEN MORE MONEY modernizing it to keep up with, ummm who exactly? It's not his boats, errr... ships. It's not that he looks pretty much exactly like an evil superhero.



It's not his smug prognostications or his willingness to buy all his competitors and fund new ones to undercut the ones that aren't for sale. It's not the god awful ugly campus he put right on the water. It's not that he loved the combination of wealth power and danger associated with regattas until he realized they were expensive and dangerous and promptly bailed. It's not that he owns multiple versions of the same car, or that he owns multiple cars that cost more than $250,000.00. It's not that he owns military jets for personal use. It's not that he repeatedly violated nighttime flight restrictions at his local airport with his personal jets. It's not even that he got a federal judge to order the city which controls that airport to grant him a personal waiver from their nighttime flying restrictions because he wasn't ever going to stop no matter what the losers in charge of that puny little city of did. It's not that he bought 12 houses in Malibu so he could build a home down there too. It's not that he married an Oberlin graduate. It's not even that he was allowed to donate $100,000,000.00 to himself as punishment for illegally dumping $1,000,000,000.00 of Oracle stock rather than pleading guilty to in an insider trading deal. It's not any one of those things.

It's all of those things together.

Now, clearly there is a risk for Californians that if we were to get kicked out of the United States that Mr. Ellison would become king. This is a risk we will have to take. This is a risk the rest of the world should be foisting upon us. Do your part: donate - especially you Larry - this is your big chance.
