But at least Kiwis don't get the opportunity to be anywhere near as irresponsible as Ted Turner with his billion dollar giveaway.

I dont think that irresponsible is how I would discribe Gareths move - I think that its a fantastic way to look at life, you dont have to die with the most toys or money to have won the game.

Good on him, not what i'd probably do, but each to their own
