      43 millionaire. He was 957 million short of his first billion. He was comfortably in the top 1%, but not anywhere close to the top .1%.

      And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human.

        Sounds like you care about someone very rich and very exploitative, and you don’t like the idea of scores of people cheering in the event they’d have the same done to them by someone they’d exploited.

        I want to assure you that we do not care about your feelings. We’ll celebrate their passing and few will sympathize with your grief.

          I don’t agree with innocent people being gunned down for no reason.

            I’m gonna guess you’re not worried about someone else, you’re feeling some kind of guilt about exploiting a lot of people.

              It’s sick to think there’s people like you in the world who condone killing innocent people just because you don’t like them.

                Once again, I don’t condone killing innocent people. I honestly don’t get where are you drawing that impression from, and repeatedly at that.

                Are you doing okay?
