Answer 1

Yes.

Question 2

Did SPCA vets perform their first open-heart surgery on a dog in 1961?

Answer 2

Yes.

Question 3

No disrespect to the wonderful work done and being done by the SPCA, but why does America love animals more than human beings???

Answer 3

Please read on!!!

Question 4

As we have studied many times, has America created a “Permanent ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste” occupying its inner-city ghettos??? According to the federal government, for the last half-century has the “Permanent ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste” comprised 30% of the total population and is it illiterate as defined by the ability to read the warning label on a can of rat poison???

Answer 4

Yes.

Question 5

Why does America pretend that its Apartheid “Justice” System treats minorities and the poor fairly???

Answer 5

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 6

As we have studied many times in the past, isn’t “Justice” in America reserved for those who can afford law firms whose senior partners stroke the egos of the judges they “own” at the local country club???

Answer 6

Yes.

Question 7

Doesn’t Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy describe how this Apartheid “Justice” System works in the context of criminal justice where seemingly-just rules of law are easily perverted???

Answer 7

Yes.

Question 8

Doesn’t Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy fail to even reach The Big Leagues where judges simply make decrees that they know are diametrically-opposed to well-settled law and then order their decisions not to be published or cited (a strategy labeled “the segregated toilet” in correspondence with 51 inner-city clergy who represented 10 million inner-city children in an unsuccessful petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case) in order to flush away the rights of the 10 million inner-city children without disturbing the rights of first-class American citizens???

Answer 8

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 9

Indeed, wasn’t the litigation described in Q-8 aimed at compelling 15 of the world’s largest financial institutions to pay Yours Truly the $84 billion that they owed him and that had long-since been pledged in legally-binding fashion to provide for 10 million inner-city children “I Have A Dream”® or IHAD-style programs which provided a tutor and mentor for every child in an entire grade of an inner-city school (no exceptions) or a housing-project grade cohort (no exceptions) from third grade thru H.S. graduation with a guarantee of college tuition and which routinely transformed the SINGLE-DIGIT H.S. GRADUATION RATE for the class just ahead and just behind the “Dreamer” Class to more than 90%???

Answer 9

Yes.

Question 10

And whenever this topic arises, don’t we note (as confirmed by this month’s focus book “Marked for Life”) that children in America’s inner-city ghettos realize at a young age that their only realistic career objectives are pimp or pusher, or girl-friend of a pimp/pusher graduating to whore???

Answer 10

Absolutely!!!

Question 11

Is it any wonder that America’s education system rates so poorly in contrast to other countries, despite spending much more per student than other countries?

Answer 11

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 12

And BTW, is it any wonder that America’s healthcare system has always been rated by the U.N.’s World Health Organization as WORSE than ALL OF THE OTHER 37 MEMBERS OF THE OECD and even worse than some third-world countries – despite spending more than twice the GDP per capita as other OECD countries???

Answer 12

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 13

And even if federal law requires Hospital Emergency Rooms to treat indigents before tossing them back on the street after providing emergency treatment (vs. any long-term treatment that is required), how many areas in America’s inner-city ghettos do not even have hospitals because they went bankrupt providing Emergency-Room treatment to indigents???

Answer 13

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 14

So why does America like animals more than human beings, at least the 30% of the population comprising the “Permanent 30% ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste”???

Answer 14

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 15

Is this aided by the myth that America is “the land of opportunity” when studies regularly show that the American population’s upward mobility is actually far less than notoriously non-upwardly-mobile countries such as the United Kingdom???

Answer 15

Re the issue of whether this is aided by the myth that America is “the land of opportunity” - What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Re the issue of upward mobility, the American population’s upward mobility is actually far less than notoriously non-upwardly-mobile countries such as the United Kingdom!!!

Question 16

But isn’t it really firmly grounded in the belief that animals are INNOCENT and the “Permanent 30% ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste” is GUILTY for its own predicament???

Answer 16

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 17

NEVERTHELESS, isn’t America MORALLY BANKRUPT in blaming the INNOCENT CHILDREN born into America’s “Permanent 30% ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste”???

Answer 17

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 18

Is a standard condemnation by the “Holier Than Thou” crowd the alleged lack of parenting???

Answer 18

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!

Question 19

HOWEVER, weren’t the 90% HS rates (vs. SINGLE DIGIT) for the IHAD programs in fact due to the tutors/mentors becoming de facto “surrogate” parents proving that the INNOCENT CHILDREN born to the “Permanent 30% ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste” can be saved???

Answer 19

Absolutely!!!

Question 20

In other words, even though 95% of total “Dreamer” households were headed by single adults who were drug addicts and 75% - 80% of total “Dreamer” households were headed by a single-adult druggie who turned over any receipts to the pusher so the kids had to steal just in order to eat, did we rarely encounter a “Dreamer” parent who did NOT want the best for her/his children despite an inability to provide it??? And isn’t such care easily provided by IHAD programs???

Answer 20

Yes – Yes.

Question 21

So isn’t America MORALLY BANKRUPT in failing to provide as much care for INNOCENT CHILDREN born into America’s “Permanent 30% ‘Untouchable’ Under-Caste” that it provides for animals???

Answer 21

What do you think??? Let’s discuss!!!
