    I would have expected Rat to have power there in the top three.

    Some people see forgiveness as a virtue, but I don’t see it that way. You can’t forgive and press charges simultaneously, but some people play silly word games and say that you can.

    After much soul-searching we find out that Rat has no soul.

    “Money, money, money, mo-ney”, is the repeating chorus to the O-Jays hit, ‘For the Love of Money’.

    1) Beer.

    2) Cheese

    3) Money to buy beer and cheese.

    Love and mercy that’s what you need tonight.

    So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight.

    Should have asked Elon Musk, Peter Theil or any of the billionaires who can’t seem to have enough money. They will buy a Presidential election to make sure they get their tax cuts and deregulation. The rest of us can suffer painful hardships , as Musk recently stated

    Loving is earning money by making things from the Earth. Mercy is giving money to people who need it. Forgiveness is not asking them to pay you back.

    In a nice world, love, mercy, and forgiveness are most important, but in this world it appears to be: 1) what you look like? 2) how much money do you have? 3) who do you know? 4) what do you know?

    “This planet has – or rather had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.”

    ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

    First, Love of power and money. Second, Mercy by ostracizing anybody that criticizes him. Third, Forgiveness of anybody that comes back and kisses his a$$.

    Well, what do you know, Trump does have it right.
