For some, there is Heaven.  Of course, Heaven means different things to people, as, for example, to Fred Astaire singing   Cheek to Cheek   in Top Hat, it's dancing with Ginger Rogers.  This version finished #15 on AFR's 100 Years of 100 Songs, and   Rotten Tomatoes  reviewers gave the movie a 100% rating.   Then there was that  promise of 72 virgins in heaven  for Muslim martyrs, but you had to be a male to take advantage of this reward.  Then again, maybe not.  However, more recently, it was determined that there was a mistranslation of the  Quran , and the truth was that it was raisins, not virgins.  Some have even pinpointed white raisins. To most, though, Heaven is an ultimate place where you live in harmony and comfort forever.  Yes, an  eternal afterlife .  Yet, maybe this is only for Christians and Muslims.  Although Buddhists can attain Nirvana and Hindus can become one with the Brahman, which sounds like a kind of heaven.  Don't have time for all  4,000 religion

From the New York Times this morning:  Since George Floyd’s death last May, dozens of states and local governments have   changed their laws   about police behavior. And yet police officers continue to kill about   three Americans each day   on average, nearly identical to the rate of police killings for as long as   statistics   exist. From  Allen J. Beck, Ph.D.,  Bureau of Justice Statitistics :   In 2018, based on data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, black people were overrepresented among persons arrested for  nonfatal violent crimes (33%) and for serious nonfatal violent crimes (36%) relative to their representation  in the U.S. population (13%).   While police accountability is on trial throughout the nation, the fundamental problem of why Blacks commit crimes needs serious addressing.  Much of this has to do with family stability, education and economics.  Here is where government needs to place priorities for the long term.  Of course arguments can be mad
