"Silicon Valley money" also got you the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Computer History Museum and lots of other nice things. You see a Hewlett, a Packard, or another legendary Silicon Valley name on almost every Nice Thing in the Bay Area.

That's like pointing to the free turkeys Mexican drug cartels give out on Christmas as an argument for letting them murder people.

My point was not whether vast fortunes per se are good or not, but whether "Silicon Valley money" is a completely different creature from "old money", and, in fact, there is quite a bit of "Silicon Valley money" that is being deployed in fairly conventional "old money" ways.
