Surly you jest, HS was first and foremost a businessman, all you need do is study up on his background and early business dealings to know he was in it to be successful, and in business success is always about the bottom line, making a profit.

While I never met the man, I have many friends who knew him and did business with him and his son that have shared with me their impressions and experiences of dealing with an aggressive and focused team of businessmen. They were first and foremost salesmen, not the lowlife used car or snake oil type salesmen, but salesmen and businessmen 100% of the time. Yes they took great pride and believed in the product that they were selling. These men, and their descendants currently running the business, are focused on being successful and this has benefited both themselves, the residents who have chosen to move here, as well as the surrounding communities and many businesses that have grown as result of their efforts and vision.

So yes, it does have to be about the money. It ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS will be, because this is a business.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
