Letter: Selfishness causes many of society’s problems

Selfishness, I believe, is the sole reason fo the problems in this country today.

Why is it the Department of Justice and the FBI are not going after these pro-Palestine protestors, who are intimidating and threatening some Jewish Americans, and charging them with civil rights violations?

It’s clear that is what is happening. Selfishness! The powers that be are afraid of losing votes or think they can apply the law to whomever they want to or not! These are weak, self-absorbed people in power!

The KKK did the same think to the Black man many years ago, and those in power back then ignored it. They were afraid of losing power and control. Selfishness again!

How about these teens, robbing and looting stores? Selfishness is stopping those in power. Simple answer, start arresting all of those teens’ parents. That alone would ut a big dent in it.

Here’s an old mantra, with an addendum for you people in power and believe you’re above the law and can manipulate it any way you want. First of all, the law comes from, or the foundation thereof, is from God! Not man!

The mantra: You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, and never all the people, all the time. The addendum: You’ll never fool Jesus Chris. He knows the intention of your hearts!
