How would...

[ClassyLady]

1. If all of the states of Africa united and became THE UNITED STATES OF AFRICA, with a senate and congress.

I'd be happy for them and hope that the new government lasted.

2. If the economy got so bad that we entered into a depression like the one in 1929.

I'd try to invest my money in the companies that had the strength and value to withstand the depression until the economy recovered. I'd try to but Microsoft, Coca-Cola, or some other blue chip at rock bottom prices.

3. If you received a check in the mail from the US government paying you for reparations, and the amount was a flat amount of $15,000

I'd be so excited to know that 300 years of my ancestors enslavement and the blood, sweat and tears of my people that built this country are only worth $15,000. Thanks, Uncle Sam!!! This is the best present ever!!!

Actually, I'd probably invest the money, most likely in real estate.

4. If YOU were elected president after a major overhaul of our present electoral college.

I'd try to even out the disparities between the haves and have nots.

5. If YOU discovered by accident a cure for cancer, aids and lukemia; but you were tempted to sell this cure for $100million dollars to a pharmeceutical company that would not use it--on EVERYBODY that needed it.

I would go public with my cures and definitely put that pharmaceutical company on blast. I'd probably try to sue the company for all that they're worth.
