Do you think that your daughters accomplishments are the result of public policy or the results of good parenting and personal responsibility?  I am going to venture a guess that your daughter earned every bit of what she has and did not reach  her current status due to a government mandate

Isn't the title of this thread an oxymoron?

Seems like you should probably be giving the answer to the question rather than posing it

Surely there must be a tax we can impose on the rich to make things "fair"

Are you an idoit if you spell persue in lieu of pursue?

You clearly, in your  desire to make things seem as they aren't, misunderstood my post.  I sad NOTHING. NADA, ZILCH about Mr. Arbery perpetrating anything.  I asked a very generalized question hoping to gain a better understanding that, when a black person commits a crime, it is somehow wrong to mention the skin color when reported by the media.   However, when an incident such as the above occurs, the main topic is reduced simply to a black person being wronged by a white person and is stated over,  and over, and over.  If you still dont understand my question, let me know and I will try to put it alternative terms.  

Correct me if I am wrong but havent we sort have been conditioned that when a crime is perpetrated by a black person, it is somehow wrong to mention skin color.  That doesnt seem to be the case in the above.  What am I missing?

Have yall  given any thought to how many people are going to die because you went to restaurant?  Sounds like a bunch of selfish, compassionless, white Republicans to me.

Yep- the "insurance policy"

If you are referring to stock market correction, absolutely not.    This is a case where the entire economy was forced to shut down.   Never happened before.  This was done to try and stave off thousands of bankruptcies and 25% unemployment.  The  combination of those two could do considerably more harm than the debt that will be incurred trying to avoid a depression (JMO)

I never saw "southern" slavery until just now.

Check this out! The first transcript is Fauci on the Today Show on February 29. The second is Fauci with Jake Tapper on Cnn Saturday (4/11). A video clip from the Today Show is out there. I've seen it; but can't find it now:  
TODAY SHOW: So Dr. Fauci, it’s Saturday morning in America, people are waking up right now with real concerns about this; they want to go to malls, and movies, maybe the gym, as well. Should we be changing our habits, and if so, how? FAUCI: No. Right now at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis. Right now the risk is still low, but this could change. I’ve said that many times, even on this program. You got watch out, because although the risk is low now, you don’t need to change anything you’re doing. When you start to see community spread, this could change, and force you to become much more attentive to doing things that would protect you from, spread. Fauci, who’s the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and on President Trump’s coronavirus task force, sounded very different on Sunday during an appearance on far-left CNN. CNNLOL: The New York Times reported yesterday that you and other top officials wanted to recommend social and physical distancing guidelines to President Trump as far back as the third week of February, but the administration didn’t announce such guidelines to the American public until March 16th, almost a month later. Why? FAUCI: As I’ve said many times, we look at it from a pure health standpoint. We make a recommendation. Often the recommendation is taken. Sometimes it’s not. But it is what it is. We are where we are right now. CNNLOL: Do you think lives could have been saved if social distancing, physical distancing, stay-at-home measures, had started the third week of February instead of mid-March? FAUCI: You know, Jake, again, it’s the what would have, what could have. It’s very difficult to go back and say that. I mean, obviously, you could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives. Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you’re right, I mean, obviously, if we had right from the very beginning shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then. So as late as February 29, Fauci was not so much as telling us to wash our hands more often. In fact, he was telling us point blank it was okay to engage in three of the most risk-for-infection behaviors imaginable: crowded malls, crowded movie theaters, and sweaty gyms. But now he’s trying to claim he was telling the administration as far back as a week earlier that we needed to mitigate? This just doesn’t compute.
