What's the magic line or set of circumstances that confers "special" on someone and gives him/her carte blanche while others not so fortunate are given no leeway at all? Is there a guide to that? Who's OK and who isn't? What's OK and what isn't? Who sez so and who doesn't?

Would you hang in under those circumstances for the good of your country? For how long?

Especially if it were a meeting with an "adversary" although I cannot remember ever being in such a meeting. But in governments everywhere there are probably countless meetings with adversaries. The more notes taken the better. And then you distribute memos of what occurred to other interested parties. No secret stuff. Secret stuff means you have something to hide. Secret stuff going on with an adversary that is unknown to your own side is very suspicious. less

Genius is more intelligent than us regular folks and therefore more capable of being kind. What do you say and why?

Thousands of years there was no electricity and people managed to survive. Could we suvive again? People would die of course. Those on life support that requires electricity. I just wonder how much damage would occur initially until we figured out a way to survive it. I'm old enough to remember ice boxes and fan. No refrigerator. No air conditioning. It's better now. Maybe we'll find out how tough we are. I hope not but ya never know! :) less

If the internet goes down and stays down for days what would be affected? Would the damage be permanent or fixable? If a power grid does down how do we operate without electricity or power? I wonder if "the enemy" is currently working on it.

That way they will have access to all our secret stuff first hand. SIGH. Another thing to worry about. Do you?
