Guns. It had to be guns. I do not like guns for very good reasons.
I am a bit of a social media persona here in Israel. I have 3K friends and another 2K followers.
As for VP - oh I feel you. I am sitting on a nice fat delegation of 42K, and so 3000 of my 4000 "natural" SP is delegated out to minnows in my community. Restraint? I don't have that with curation. :)
Well, the Good News is that I have a new eye on my personal gun ownership. Steemit has given me new hope for the future of Humanity, I am hoping it is possible now, MAYBE Even "probable", maybe, to get through the coming Paradigm Change without total societal chaos. I respect your views, but I would also be ready to defend the innocent. Hopefully that is sufficient deterrent to head off most of it. It is people like you with an educated, dedicated non-violence position to keep the peace? I mean we all have a Role in this. It is a last resort for me, but I am willing to defend. Never Provoke. I admire the responsibility to your friends and followers! It's a very brave position to take in the M.E. which is a very complex... well, Mess, for lack of a better term (on my part). I did have an eye-opening when I saw, of all things, an "Investment Newsletter" in 2014, which described _in great detail- how the CIA has a regime change hit list in your region. This is all made possible by chaos and unrest. There were originally 7 countries slated for this "regime change" and all but Syria and Iran have come about. Seemingly ALL were for the worse, even Iraq went from bad to worse, at least for their people and once Obama took office, Iraq deteriorated further, and ISIS sprang forth. More CIA BS... smh
Love to hear your take on this, I'm sure an "on the ground" viewpoint would enlighten me even more.
