genocide n.  The systematic, planned annihilation of a racial, political
	      or cultural group.  [Gree  gemas, race  see gene]

What is the world does the chairman of Lotus Development Inc. have to do
with the rest of humanity.  Life is not a zero sum game.  Success does not
neccessarily imply someone else's failure; maybe you are thinking of baseball
games?  Just so you know I got paid yesterday and the welfare of the rest 
of humanity never once crossed my mind and I should know.  I'm saving it
to buy a real BMW.  I would rather be at the top than anywhere else and
when I am not posting I spend most of my time working to get there.

I think that a world where people were not rewarded for their efforts would
be genocide for the U.S.
