I'll give you a million bucks (negotiable) if you can explain:

3) …..and you can come up with your own questions and answers for #3

I understand that this is relevant for society, and how one think about it.
Also it's a disgusting sign of the times.
But why are you sending this info to me ?
I never signed on a sort of maillist for this subject, or whatever this is.
