Assuming all you say is right, (and I don't necessarily agree) my question is "what do you propose to be done about it?" Nothing else really matters. Bleating about something neither makes it wrong nor fixes it if it is wrong.

There is no doubt both Israel and USA believe they are the chosen people, and it is their duty to lead/teach the lesser peoples. Fact of life, but looking at history, one that will be corrected in due course.

I have a lot of trouble getting my mind around several of these questions. We seem to be measuring success by dollars. Is it really success? The mathmeticions talk of an expanding infinity. What surrounded infinity before it started expanding? God made the earth, etc. So who made god? (I admit to believing in a hereafter, but not the one commonly subscribed to. Sitting on a cloud playing a harp for all eternity doesn't sound exciting to me, nor as a twice divorced male, does 73 or any other number of virgins turn my crank.)(I do admit that little girls grow up in the most delightful way.)

So, I do hope that you have some rational arguments that some people who have a quirk of the mind that drives them to accumulate money is wrong. And the fact that you have seen estimates that someone has 500 trillion in assets, neither make the estimate right nor reasonable. That ESTIMATE IS NEITHER POSSIBLE TODAY, OR REASONABLE, nor inherently immoral. Everyone, male/female- you/me are different, have different values and views of the world, with varying degrees of accuracy.

I prefer to discuss far out subjects with a certain amount of logic

Allen
