What is the relevance of this to the Predator debate? Again, you're lumping together the billionaires and their victims -- this time as "gardeners" (but the billionaires are acting like rams, not gardeners!). > 2. AS FOR THE BILLIONAIRES: HERE'S WHAT I SAID AND IT'S STILL THE SAME! No need to shout, but you still need to explain why you defended the billionaires by replying "we are all predators -- we all eat" and by comparing the billionaires' treatment in the economy (=insatiable rip-off) to the Cherokee treatment of deer (=sustainable hunting). I did read your quoted paragraph already on the first occasion, but the "excuse" that you are among the victims of greed and are now "too old to be a part of fixing that", doesn't explain your defense of the billionaires either. My impression is that while you are of good will, you have been too much brainwashed by Predator PR à la NYT.
