  1. Consider also the following: a. The 6th mass extinction event has already started upon this Earth due to natural reasons. b. Rich people who choose to, and the US Government, the US Government doing it with tax payer's money and in part ever increasing national debt, have been and continue to, build safe underground bunkers and infrastructure, and it's not cheap to do. c. Any even US citizen who isn't rich and chose to do so, or if you haven't received an invite into one of these safe bunkers, then that tells you what those entities really think about you. Any entity left upon the surface of this Earth is most probably going to die and go extinct, and most probably die a horrible death too. There goes the Declaration Of Independence whereby the US Government is supposed to keep it's citizens 'safe and happy'. d. One day, those left, would start a new government (per the Declaration Of Independence even), and disregard the debt of the old government as well as having the world's resources at their disposal. e. BUT, the joke is still on them. ONLY those species who make it off of this Earth and out of this solar system, and out of this galaxy too if my current analysis is correct, will possibly continue to consciously survive. Everybody else dies and goes extinct. f. Our current true destiny is as follows: 1. We are ALL going to die one day from something. 2. We are ALL going to forget everything we ever knew and experienced. 3. We are ALL going to be forgotten one day in future eternity as if we never ever existed at all in the first place. (Including all of them who hide in their safe bunkers. They are not saving themselves, they are only delaying the inevitable.) Or so the current analysis would seem to indicate. Nature is our greatest ally in so far as Nature gives us life and a place to live it, AND Nature is also our greatest enemy that is going to take it all away. (OSICA)

  2. Why shouldn't all non-profits be taxed at least something, even 1% possibly? Don't they also receive the benefits of national security, police, etc, as well as the use of the infrastructure of this nation?

  3.  @davidturczak7253  If nothing else even, have that revenue dedicated to paying off the nation's debt. Makes sense to me.

  4. Honestly and sincerely try to answer the following questions: a. How exactly do we, individually and as a society of individuals, want to exist while we do exist? b. How exactly do we, individually and as a society of individuals, want to take care of the young, old, ill and needy, if even at all? (Please leave your answers below to further the discussion).

  5.  omnia resipsaloquitor  Do you have honest and sincere answers to the above?

  6.  omnia resipsaloquitor  Agreed. Nature is our greatest ally in so far as Nature gives us life and a place to live it, AND Nature is also our greatest enemy that is going to take it all away. (OSICA) This enemy can't really be fought with bullets and bombs and the current analysis is that Nature is going to win in the end no matter what any of us do and/or don't do. Life itself is all ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things as life itself only matters to life itself only as long as life itself still exists. It's just that the analysis currently indicates that no conscious life is going to be left one day, at least not from this Earth, probably not from this solar system, possibly not even from this galaxy, and even possibly not even from this entire universe itself. It all depends upon what is really true or not in this cause and effect system of existence that we appear to exist in. But still, the questions in the opening thread remain, with all the consequences and ramifications, seen and unseen, of those choices made to those questions. Then no matter what, we still all die one day from something, will forget everything we ever knew and experienced, and will all be forgotten one day in future eternity as if we never ever existed at all in the first place. Or so the current analysis that I have personally done seems to indicate. As I truly don't know what I don't know, and even what I believe and know to be really true maybe isn't, especially as the brain likes to makes stuff up to fill in the gaps of it's perceived reality, I will be the first to admit that I could be wrong. But then, some sort of actual evidence would be needed to show where I am wrong in my analysis. But in part, this is how I chose to individually exist while I do exist at this time of my conscious existence, to answer those really big questions in life. And as you like brevity, I will stop typing now.
