I know, but these people have been believing the same lies over and over
and over.  A sucker may fall for the carny speel once, but year in, year
out?  

>For another thing, many people worship monetary success above all else.

Sigh, I know, and all of his detractors are just envious of his wealth. 
No one seems to be concerned about the immorality of that wealths method
of accumulation.   But a lot people revered Jesse James as well, so I
suppose they find the criminal aspect as appealing in some deep secret
way.  At least Jesse mostly only stole from the rich.  gates steals from
everyone.
