Speculation and Fact

Vance killed the Pope.  It is a widely accepted theory.  They shook hands.  "Vance and the Poison Ring."  Coming this fall on Netflix.  

Trump wants to give every woman who has a baby $5,000.  Now that's one way to cut down on government spending.  Would you have a baby for $5,000?  Do you know how far that would go in raising the child?  Unless. . . you planned on selling it in Mexico for its adrenal glands.  Adrenochrome use in the White House, it is said, has become very, very popular.  Most of those people had never heard of the drug until the whole Hillary/Pizza Parlor scandal.  Now, however, they have seen the crazy lights.  

Obviously people haven't thought the whole big money giveaway through.  Look.  If everyone in the U.S. gave me just one dollar, I'd be a $340,000,000 millionaire.  I could do a lot with that money.  But, let's say Musk (or the government) gave everyone in the U.S. one dollar. . . well, you get the idea.  That's how government works.  Collect a little from a lot of people and you can do big things.  Giving away some money to a lot of people accomplishes nothing.  

Hi honey! Just wanted to let you know what the US military is doing shortly. We're flying to Yemen to bomb some anti-aircraft artillery.  By the way, what’s for dinner?  Chicken or pasta?

Nothing to see here.  

Back to religion.  Do you know what the richest religious group is?  Oh, you probably guessed wrong.  You thought it was the Catholic Church, didn't you?  It would seem to make sense.  But if you thought that, you were wrong.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds almost three hundred billion dollars in assets.  

Cha-Ching!

You probably know them as "The Mormons."  But you probably don't know any Mormons, do you?  That's because there are not so many of them, nothing like the Catholic Church, or, as it was once known, simply, "The Church."  If you divided up the holdings of the Catholic Church among its members, it would be like giving everyone a dollar.  But. . . if you divided up the Mormon Church's holding among its members--and you will not believe me, so look it up--everyone would get $1.5 million!  

Now that we have that straight, you'll need to ponder the whole Latter-day Saints thing.  What is that?

But we'll leave that for another time.  

I slept long and late and have much to do, so I'll leave you to discuss all this among yourselves.  When we meet next time, I expect each of you to be ready to write on one of the chosen topics.  Fifty minute time limit.  500 words.  Formal essay.  

Until then. . . .
