13. I need to get a pond dug in my back yard to put it in first
Opportunities for boating are limited to one reservoir and it's drying up.

21. No, you do not have their permission
After the Gilded Age there was the Progressive Age, right? Or are you thinking about the age of American imperialism? That was more concurrent with Progressivism than robber barrons. What else ya got?

7. It is a necessity when
you realize that you might need to suddenly flee the raging proles at moment's notice. That's pure pragmatism.

Having other quick means to escape are also worth it. Private jets can be handy in that respect.

11. Meh... they're just trying to unload the 2011's

Wait a few months and pick up a 2012.

And don't buy the extended warranty. It's a rip off.

18. Five staterooms?
That's not nearly enough. What do they expect me to do, put the Da Vincis in with the Van Goghs? I simply cannot mix movements like that....
