1) Without doing research, as of June 2023 (cut-off), can you guess who has the top selling album of all time? (Hint: It’s a Greatest Hits album and it’s not The Beatles, Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson.)
2) Would you like to see a cashless society? Why or why not?
3) Pick any one country that isn’t your country and tell us the name of 3 – 5 famous people dead or alive from that country. There’s one catch. The 3 – 5 people you pick must come from 3 - 5 different categories. (Example categories but feel free to pick your own: sports, music, authors, science, journalism, inventors, acting, art, crime, politics, royalty, religion, explorers, medicine, heads of state, dancers, etc.)
5) Think of yourself as an individual or team sports spectator not as a participant. What would you change in any sport (or sports) to make it more interesting for you, personally? Use your imagination. Doesn’t have to be realistic.
1) Without doing research, as of June 2023 (cut-off), can you guess who has the top selling album of all time? (Hint: It’s a Greatest Hits album and it’s not The Beatles, Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson.) I don't know. Taylor Swift? Willie Nelson?
2) Would you like to see a cashless society? Why or why not? No, because cash is more convenient for small transactions. Not everyone uses apps like Zelle to transfer money. Some people would find it difficult, such as the elderly and those with poor vision. Also, not everyone has a smart phone. I wish they would eliminate pennies, though.

QUESTION TO PONDER
Do you think blind people see in their dreams?[/quote] No, because their brains lack the capacity for vision. I imagine that a blind person's dreams would be about sound, touch, taste, smell and other non-visual sensations that they experience while awake.
1) Without doing research, as of June 2023 (cut-off), can you guess who has the top selling album of all time? (Hint: It’s a Greatest Hits album and it’s not The Beatles, Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson.) Is it Mariah Carey? She may have the number one, all time Christmas song.
2) Would you like to see a cashless society? Why or why not? No. There are so many things that don't lend themselves to credit or digital money, but most of all, a cashless society is easily controlled, hacked and taken over by a central power. Cash = freedom.

QUESTION TO PONDER
Do you think blind people see in their dreams? Probably depends on whether they were sighted before or have limited sight, but are considered legally blind.

1) Without doing research, as of June 2023 (cut-off), can you guess who has the top selling album of all time? (Hint: It’s a Greatest Hits album and it’s not The Beatles, Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson.)

2) Would you like to see a cashless society? No. Why or why not? I like the touch and feel of $$$ slipping through my fingers.

QUESTION TO PONDER
