you have to understand something, you probably think that this ship cost a lot of money, well your correct but did you ever think it cost near 70 million. and lets not forget the care and docking and crew, another 7 to 10 million per year. can you imagine how many poor people you can help feed, clothe and give medical care to, how many hard working people barely scraping by, and here this ship lies, waiting for the owner or owners to come and party, while millions suffer. i can only hope the owner gives as much of this price tag to the poor, because when he dies he has to answer to God on why he didn't build a hospital with the money and buy a smaller craft. i know what your thinking, this is a free society and we are built on the free enterprise system, the capitalistic system offers all people the opportunity to study and work and make as much money as they can and spend it anyway they wish. i understand that and i believe in it but i see suffering, and i don't have to much money to help people, i can only help in the small way i do. so i pray not only for those suffering but also for those good people who have so much to help those who have so little. i also pray for our president and congress to become stronger and wiser and help our nation flourish.

Jack,
You're forgetting all the workers and their families who made a living while this boat was being constructed, and the owner continues to spend money on the vessel's maintenance, crew, fuel, dockage...etc...all of which creates jobs and feeds families.....
