22. Even Trump, Hitler, Pol Pot????

Violence is not the 1st answer. It's not even the 38th answer. But it is an answer and the right answer in certain places and at times. Is this one of those times? Maybe. Maybe not. But I do know a bunch of robber barons are watching their backs tonight. And maybe second guessing some of their hubris. That's not a bad thing.
