[B]ROSE:[/B] There's also the side of you that's a political animal. I mean, you are, among people who know you, a billionaire who's not that crazy about capitalism. [B]LUCAS:[/B] That's true. (LAUGH) [B]ROSE:[/B] Tell me about -- [B]LUCAS:[/B] Well, I grew up in the '60s. I grew up in San Francisco. And so I'm informed in a certain kind of way about, you know, believing in democracy and believing in America. And I'm a very ardent patriot. But I'm also a very ardent believer in democracy, not capitalist democracy. And I do not believe that the rich should be able to buy the government. And that's just the way I feel. [/QUOTE]
