Q: Would there be any difference if the whole world would have the same Money?

A: How long would they have the same money for? Uneven distribution of the money would reemerge as soon as people started making efforts to earn it and spend it.

A: I don't think there is such a person and I don't know how one would go about identifying them.

A: A bit beyond (downwards) my shoulders.

Q: A royal-career-ending story about Prince Charles snogging a toy boy from a 2013 tabloid magazine has just started doing the rounds in the Indonesian social media chatterocracy. In this age of The Ascendancy of Personal Realities, can we say that the outrage it is causing is genuine even if the 2013 story wasn't?

A: I say to each his/her own. Looking at his situations in the past he does seem to enjoy "different" lovers/wives.

Q: Do people in the spotlight have the right to personal privacy?

According to that three year old report, Lady Camilla divorced Prince Charles in 2013 so, the cad did not get away with his toy boy carry on.

Q: Do people in the spotlight have the right to personal privacy?

A: If they display substantial hypocrisy, perhaps not. As for famous people who commit crimes, no. And people "in power" over others, such as politicians and bureaucrats, whether they be elected or appointed, I would say no. Certainly people who use their families (for instance) to promote themselves or to gain power cannot expect those families to be off limits when it comes to public scrutiny.

Q: Do you agree?
