You bring up some useful questions but examine the opposite of the assertion (with some parameters interspersed): a person working fulltime at a job does not deserve to make wages above the welfare designated poverty level.

Its a ludicrous statement.

Does this mean my Razor flip-phone is going to be back in style?

Only whole milk. None of this white water swill they call 2% milk. More like 2% crap.

Oshikundu: a naturally fermented drink made of a mixture of sorghum and pearl millet. It is super refreshing on a hot day and with a bit of sugar it is delicious.

Nothing ruined the movie Gravity more than the wire dangling scene in the middle of microgravity space.

This has nothing to do with slavery. It is pointing out the reality of the situation of the time for black people (years after the emancipation of slaves).

It has a modern equivalent: the sitdown chat every black boy has with his parents about how to behave with police officers.

I switched to toothpicks only. Works more or less the same. Definitely breaks up the monotony.

The fear of war. When I was young the idea of another World War seemed exciting. The real cost of war is hidden behind the veil of romanticism all young people look through.

Exactly. Some people would rather not research, plan, coordinate, and organize a vacation (especially if it entails more than one location); they would rather just pay to go on one.

Trophy hunting has lots of tangible benefits for conservancies and inhabitants of rural areas where these animals exist. Most people don't realize that there are subsistence farmers that have to deal with these large game animals destroying their farms and livestock. Farmers will and do kill endangered animals (cheetahs) if they are attacking their cattle. Allowing money to be made off of the culling of these animals (of course at an appropriate level) is a way to create value in the mind of these people.

As I told someone else, the discussion is not about trophy hunting. The discussion is about how to produce an environment where the people that deal daily with these animals and the animals themselves can thrive.

I have to wonder how useful this skill is.

Regardless of who's fault it is one thing is clear: it is everyone's responsibility to change a culture of injustice.
