[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 249875, member: 322"] I've got no problem with Buffet - he is donating massive amounts of money. I guess he'd rather direct where it goes rather than give it to the Government. [URL]http://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2016/07/14/warren-buffett-just-donated-nearly-2-9-billion-to-charity/#72e009695489[/URL] But in the long run we are all dead and it doesn't matter how much you have when you die as long as you've been able to do largely what you want. It's how you've lived your life. Concerning Kaepernick, I understand where he is coming from. I wish the flag weren't the peaceful means of protest being used but IIWII and the flag is only a symbol to me. As long as they don't burn it or defile it, fine. There is racism in the country. This week a black friend of my son's was stopped in Oklahoma for "lights". He said he was glad that he was on video chatting with his wife so that there was contact with the outside world. That is problem enough. He also said the policeman kept trying bait him but he just responded with many yes sirs and no sirs. He believes it was racism in action (Driving While Black) and supports Kaepernick's actions. I think the vast majority of the police officers are trying to do the right thing and are not racist; but it only takes a few. Oh yeah, not that it matters, but he is an Army helicopter pilot who has flown combat missions. The latest where North Carolina may not release future available video footage of killings is going in the wrong direction IMHO.
