If the asked player has the card, he gives it to the requester and the requester can then ask for any player for another card.

The Howard Families are a fictional group created by the author Robert A. Heinlein . According to Heinlein, the Howard Foundation was started in the 19th century by Ira Howard, a millionaire dying of old age in his forties, for the purpose of extending human lifespans. Howard himself did not live to see the outcome he simply endowed the experiment with his own fortune, and the trustees of the Howard Foundation used the limited scientific knowledge of the time to create a selective breeding human program to encourage, financially, people of long lived ancestry to have children together. The Howard Foundation is greatly enriched during the Great Depression by knowledge gained through time travel so that they get out of the stock market before the crash and invest in gold rather than cash and are able to reinvest in stocks that rebound after the crash. ref To Sail Beyond the Sunset ref The novel Methuselah s Children is focused on the Howard Families and their quest for acceptance on Earth and other planets.

unreferenced date December 2010 Orphan date November 2010 The Nine Families is an American geo political concept used to identify a group that provides massive donations to individuals, corporations, and political campaigns through the auspices of a benevolent foundation for the sole purpose of using the resulting political capital to advance conservative policies and agenda. Origins Beginning at about the turn of the millennium, the phrase Nine Families began to enter the American zeitgeist as the rapid expansion of the Internet allowed users from all over the world to more closely monitor the activities of organizations and think tank s that gather donations for use in generating, manipulating, or directing public opinion. The usage began to gain prevalence after the start of the worldwide recession amidst fears and skeptical speculation that entire economies were being manipulated and in some cases ruined by a handful of individuals operating behind the scenes of so called benevolent organizations. It gained further expansion after Bernard Madoff Bernard Lawrence Bernie Madoff , an American stock broker that operated a massive Ponzi scheme, plead guilty in March 2009. Rumors abounding on the Internet of Madoff s connections to various nine family organizations either for profit or protection fueled the fire. Conservative Families The concept of families doesn t necessarily indicate a traditional family of siblings and or parents. Often, it simply denotes a group of people acting together through a partnership that at one point and time was spearheaded or founded by a namesake. While the number and type of families changes depending on the author or spokesperson, the generally accepted list of conservative power brokers includes The Bradleys The Carnegie Corporation Carnegies The Coors The JPMorgan Chase Morgans The Rockefeller Foundation Rockefellers The Richard Mellon Scaife Scaifes Foundations and Groups Each so called family operates a benevolent foundation or organization ... more details
