[QUOTE=Ajack;307658]Random Thoughts:
...........Been watching the television series, The Tudors. Now those were the days. When a Noble or other prominent citizen received the sentence of death, the townsfolk would show up for the free entertainment. Beheading, hanging, burned at the stake, the audience was thrilled to liven up their dreary existence. They yelled and hooted and whistled and had a jolly good time.
Come to think of it, they did the same kind of stuff in the Mel Gibson movie, Braveheart. I guess there is something in our nature that likes to see the rich and powerful fall.............
I for one, take no pleasure in seeing the rich and powerful fall. I am interested in seeing justice for the arrogant and selfish, whether rich, poor, or middle class. There are many wealthy people, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, and Michael Bloomberg come to mind, that take the responsibility of their wealth very seriously, and attempt to do some good for mankind as a whole.
