you can take a horse to water....

I remember someone telling me that if you took all the world's wealth and divided it evenly among all the 8 plus billion inhabitants, within ten years the rich and powerful would be the same people it is today.

Here's a little anecdotal evidence of that wisdom....
For fun, Keith Bryce and his wife, Elizabeth, play bingo on Tuesdays at a Knights of Columbus Hall, or watch movies on a mattress in the living room.

It's a long way from the craps tables, flashing lights and plush presidential suites at the swank Las Vegas hotels of their honeymoon.

Since Bryce won the Mega Millions lottery three years ago, he has clashed with family, spent close to $3 million and isn't far from the poorhouse - a place he assumed he'd never visit again.

In the first 30 days after hitting the jackpot - which brought him $3.7 million - Bryce dished out at least $1 million.
