At least ONE of them repents

Also from The Week:
A Wall Street broker has given it all up to become a monk in a Bulgarian monastery. Hristo Mishkov, 32, who sold high-tech stocks on the Nasdaq exchange, says he grew disillusioned with high finance and his luxurious Manhattan lifestyle. "If someone consumes more than they have earned," he says, "it means someone else is starving." Despite the career change, Mishkov continues to work a brutal schedule, rising at dawn to tend a herd of cheese-producing buffalo.

That's admirable. Would that more of them would spend some time in the country communing with cheese-producing buffalo.
