  1. And exactly who is going to decide how to tax wealth instead of income?    What will the definition of wealth become?   When the owner of very very large public company goes bankrupt, surely those that have taken from him all those years will be ready to give to him?

  2. So the farmer in the midwest whose family has passed down thousands  upons thousands of valuable acreage faces a  dilemma.  Many of these farmers are asset rich and cash poor.  Is it the responsibility of the benevolent governement to take these lands from these families in the name of equity and fairness?

    So your contention that the defender has to be "in front" of offender?  What about the left side, or the right side?  The rule is within 6 feet, defend where you want.

    Defend where you want?  According to that theory, a defender can chase an offender the length of the court and even though he is behind him for the length of the court, he will earn the five second closely guarded call by simply never being behind the offender more than 6 feet.   Please let me know how often you have seen that called and where it took place.

    It’s quite possible that incidents of cops killing a black man will cease to be News during the next four years.  

    There are many other changes we can anticipate:

    When Biden gives his mask edict (everyone to wear a mask for 100 days), Flu deaths will skyrocket, and many Death Certificates will record, as cause, cancer, cardiovascular disease, strokes, impacted colon, malaria, dengue fever, etc. etc. and Covid deaths will become virtually non-newsworthy.   China will become our staunch ally.   Major manufactures moving their production  plants overseas will not be considered newsworthy.   The price of gas will soar and the increase will be blamed on Saudi Arabia & Russia/Putin.   The country of Georgia will see an economic boom, and Hunter could, quite possibly, end up in their Parliament.   We’ll no longer read so many stories of the homeless, unemployment, or the poor in general.  Israel will be labeled as the reason there’s any trouble in the Middle East, constantly provoking the peace loving Muslims.  And finally, anything, anything bad that happens, anywhere in the world, will be blamed on Trump. 

    As Yul Brenner said in the movie The Ten Commandments, So let it be written, so let it be done.

    Don't forget there will be no more children " ripped from the arms of their parents"

  5. I contend that  the count stopped when the dribbler passed the defender and then stayed in front of him intentionally and the defender made to effort to regain the defensive position.  JFrom my perspective, being in front of the defender is more than enough "separation"

  6. I saw one I have never seen before.   Offensive player is dribbling ball in the final 30 seconds of the game.  The defender is , for a brief second, in front of him in the proper defensive position.   Offensive player goes past defender and defender winds up being BEHIND the offensive player and, rather than try to re-establish his position between offensive player and basket ( probably because of time left and being behind by 10 points) simply stands behind the offensive player but in very close proximity.  The referee blows whistle and calls 5 second closely guarded violation.
