					<description><![CDATA[The average Joe grosses $2 million over his lifetime ($50,000 X 40 years)  So the $25 million to the family of the homeless man is equivalent to providing 10 slaves.

There was a claim that the homeless man was dehumanized. I wonder how that was done. The driver&#039;s past record would be relevant only if it was related to the accident per se. The driver was not drinking or texting at time of the accident.

I don&#039;t think sovereign immunity would apply in this case as garbage collection is usually a private sector service.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Can&#039;t believe I am going to say this, but liability seems solid with the garbage truck and the homeless man.  I was asleep in a chair during the day covered with a bright blue blanket.  The driver has had other diving related problems in the past.  The only issue is how much is a homeless man worth?  Turns out, it could be quite amount.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile, a figure like Soros gets plenty from his “selfless giving”: if he sees the advancement of liberal causes as generally beneficial to his particular ethnic group (Jewish), it’s not really all that “selfless.”&lt;/i&gt;

Yes he does support leftist causes but not his ethnic group. He is just announced a donation of $100 Million dollars to Human Rights Watch. This is an organization that continuously attacks Israel and supports the Palestinians.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re:  Soros v. the Koch Brothers:

Great find!  The notion that politically liberal giving is &quot;selfless&quot; and &quot;pure&quot; as compared to conservative activism is, to my mind, bunk.  People have their values, and they want to see them advanced, plain and simple.  It&#039;s hard to believe that the Koch Brothers really financially benefit in any noticeable way from seeking lower government taxes generally.  

Meanwhile, a figure like Soros gets plenty from his &quot;selfless giving&quot;:  if he sees the advancement of liberal causes as generally beneficial to his particular ethnic group (Jewish), it&#039;s not really all that &quot;selfless.&quot;  Peruse the initiatives of the Soros Foundation and see if they don&#039;t match up to the writing of Professor Kevin MacDonald in this regard.  If this is how he chooses to spend his billions, that&#039;s one thing -- but forgive me if I forgo the genuflections.]]></description>
