Rowan and the rollicking rich   Let me quote: "How terrible it
will be for you who are rich, because you have had your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry."  No,

with its scorching heat and withers the field; its flower falls,
and its beauty perishes. It is the same way with the rich; in
the midst of a busy life, they will wither away... Is it not the
rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court?
... Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries
that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your
clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and
their rust will be evidence against you."  Nope, wrong again.
