What Police Fear

It's easy to scare the police. One word can get you killed. They don't explain why, they expect that you will comply and if you don't they claim they are threatened. You, surrounded by armed men are threatening. They feel endangered and their lives might end. Because you look at them and see through to their fear when you say, "No."

WHO NEEDS A BILLION DOLLARS?

I ask a lot of questions on Facebook and get very little back in response. So I think this is not the venue for real discussion. Or my questions are not relevant. I'm good with that, just say "Who Cares?" or "So What!" But most people do post their opinions like, "THIS SUCKS!" but they don't explain why it sucks or pass on any relevant information. Sometimes I think people forgot why we debate. I like to hear other peoples well thought out ideas because it sharpens my own opinions. But it seems like many people only want to echo the current TV approved groupthink, and be rewarded for their unoriginal ideas! Am I being too harsh? How often do you see a post that goes against the approved media flow? I think the sad thing is many people don't want to think and come to their own considered opinion. So when they hear their friends criticize something they just go along with it. This is why many people can't defend their thinking. So I'm going to toss out another question and maybe you could give it some thought. WHO NEEDS A BILLION DOLLARS? And do you understand the ramifications of Billionaires? Money is like air and water, it's finite. (That means there is only so much of it) When one person has this much of it, it means other people have less. It means the people with less may turn to crime to get more. It means some people may go hungry or not get medical care. It means some people will become desperate. And the problems this causes is not helped by the super rich because they don't pay their share of taxes. The problems fall on you and me to pay for. And because the Supreme Court has ruled that money is speech, this means the super rich can use their wealth to gain more wealth and influence to help themselves. This is what Bernie Sanders has been campaigning about. You may not know this because Network News is the mouth piece of the Billionaires. So simple Question; Give me a reasonable explanation why anyone should need 1 Billion Dollars? A question to my question is not helpful. Like, so is 100 Million to much? I want a well reasoned answer, Or a "Who Cares?"
