Great Gatsby and Dwight Howard

1. Can two people with such contrasting personalities coexist and work toward a common goal?

2. Is money positive or negative

3. Does money give you power?

New Question:
We know that affluence (wealth, social status, power etc.) can sometimes put you above the law. Do you think it should? Do you believe it is ok or justifiable for those people? Why?
