If money was no issue, would you work anyway
or dedicate the majority of your time to
non work related activities?

What is non work related activities? I'm really not sure. If I had all the money I'd ever need, I'd do a wide variety of things and the funny thing is... they're all work-like. I'd write pretty much whatever and whenever I liked, since I wouldn't necessarily ever have a set bed time or time to wake up. I'd start my own publishing and press company. Because why should I let someone else profit from my artistic expression? In all likelihood, I'd do a lot of charity work. I'd lobby against genetically altered foods and nuclear testing/energy. I'd fund food programs for destitute American citizens. It's nice that we concern ourselves with people in other countries, but there are people going hungry here too. And I'd run for president, because if money were no object, I'm assuming I'd have however much I need to do whatever it is I wanted, including run for president. 
And then, once I got the office, I'd donate every dollar I made as president to charity since as an independently wealthy person, I wouldn't need payment for my services.

March 4th
The three day Greek festival of Anthesteria honors departed souls or keres. It is a festival dedicated to Flora, Hecate, and Dionysus with the intent to "feed" the dead in the hope that the ancestors might bring good fortune to the living and not cause any mischief around living family members.
The festival begins with flowers, phallic processions, and the opening of the newly fermented bottles of wine. The living ritually purify themselves by bathing and making sacrifice to Dionysus. They slaughter calves and share the meat with the god, incinerating some of the meat that it might float up into the air (the custom for sacrificing to all Olympian gods), and eating the rest of it as a shared feast.
The major ritual of the festival is the Choe, libations poured for the dead. The living drink wine and eat with the dead, believing that Dionysic revelry is not limited to the living, but that in his Chthonic aspect as the "Lord of Souls," that he grants ecstatic experiences to the dead. It is of importance that the wine and food for the dead and the wine and food for the living never mix. For the food reserved for the dead is just that, not fit for the living. On the last day, visiting spirits are dismissed back to the underworld.
In 1968, the Church of All Worlds (CAW) formed in Missouri to become the first Wiccan Church to do so in the US.
On the 19th day of Parmutit, a Feast of Ra occurs in his Barge at Heliopolis.

I would definitely do charity work as well.
i don't know what i would do in this situation. i guess i would probably go on a vacation. then maybe learn some craft stuff.... cooking... or some stuff like that.
I like the idea of running for president. That is not a job I would personally ever want, but it's a great idea.
I also think donating your presidential salary to charity would be awesome and every president should do that.
I would also probably work for a charity, or start a scholarship. Buy artwork.
There's a millionaire in Denver who has an entire mansion filled with his art collection--no one lives in the house, it's just a 24-room gallery for his art. He or his family visit it on occassion to look at their art, but most of the time the only people who see it are the curators he keeps on staff to take care of the paintings. Can you imagine? I was like, "It's like Scrooge McDuck keeping a room full of gold coins to swim in, only this guy keeps paintings."
I would also be inclined to do some sort of service for the greater good...it's who I am, what I be
wow i hope you do become president some day
interesting article, thnx for posting!
