I do apologize for my prolonged absence. I have been somewhat pressed of late, but I have not forgotten the comm ;)

...and my FB memories have pulled up this gem, which seems quite apt:




 
Pleonexia [PLEE-oh-NEX-ee-ya]
(n.)
 
-Extreme greed for wealth or material possessions.
-Avarice; covetousness.
 
From Greek "pleonektein" to be greedy, to have or want more, from "pleon" neuter of "pleiōn" "pleōn" more + "echein" to have.
 
Used in a sentence:
 
“The unbridled pleonexia of the few continues to result in the suffering of the many.”
