Probably NWMT, but I didn't argue full control. I said "reasonable" - maybe read that as limited, or partial, or within acceptable bounds. I have almost complete control over my TV, very broad control over the airplane I fly, sand only light influence over the neighbor's cat.
Or, in thsi case, I exercise control by not engaging further with a profoundly confused individual. . .

"In God We Trust"....however, has anyone read the lyrics to the "song" the Heavy Metal Band Eagles was playing at the concert hall that night ?
Pictures show many in the audience holding up their hands mimicking the 'devils horns' symbols and signing along (to THAT song) when the concert attack started.
No disrespect to ANY human or animal life for that matter; I saved many 'strangers' lives and risked my life in doing so; Lt. FF/PM EMT-P career.
I have seen some things that defy human logic...and believe me when I relay to you many patients swear they died - went to hell - (sometimes seeing past loved ones there) - and changed their ways after recovering. Even when clinical death lasted "only" a matter of seconds before defibrillating.
I want my guardian angles and God as my co pilot. Lord knows they saved me many times, not just flying.
OK - I guess now moderators move this to where ever these 'non p c' things go.

I appreciate that you spoke what you have experienced, and what you have observed, and what you think. I would find it hard to risk my life for someone I did not respect, but don't often think about the fact that many people in certain professions do so every day. Thank you.
You are deceived by your TV, your control is very limited. You can watch the programming provided by a hand full of multinational corporations, or you can turn it off. You have zero control over the content of what come out of the TV, just a choice of offerings, most of which are propaganda, with the remainder distractions from reality.
The cat is actually the best comparison of all control ability, you can have a subtle influence, that's it, and the less you try to influence, the more cooperative they become.
