Why do people care if sports athletes take a knee for the national anthem?

I'm all for it, anyone with half a brain knows that these players that take a knee aren't doing it to diss the soldiers, but to protest against police brutality which is a huge problem in this country. Then again I forgot that there are a ton of really stupid people in this joke of a country. These same stupid people fail to realize that the US is the laughing stock of the world. Many police officers here have no business working at McDonald's much less being sworn in to protect my fellow citizens. And I hope that one day every corrupt and terrible officer gets shot in the face because they deserve to die. I regularly use American flags as kindling in my fireplace and will continue to do so until this country is no longer an utter joke. Maybe a nuclear bomb from North Korea needs to hit this country in order for all these stupid citizens to wake up and realize what a joke we're.

What bothers me most is when people say that kneeling is disrespecting the soldiers who fight for my freedom. Well if this was a FREE country, I should be FREE to protest whenever the f u c k I want. And the first amendment of the constitution clearly states that I'm allowed to.

Will a publishing company take a story if it was self published?

The story was on CreateSpace and Amazon Kindle for maybe 2 months before I yanked it because I wanted to redo part of it. It didn't sell so I don't think anyone even saw it. Will a publisher care that it was self published? Do I have to tell them I self published? Will they find out if I don't tell them?

Creative writing laptop?

I saw an ad on Instagram for a laptop that was really only the bottom half of an electronic paper screen (like that on the original Kindles). The laptop was for writing only and had a really long battery life. It was $300 if I remember correctly, but now I can't find it anywhere online. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I think it was crowdfunded.

Do you prefer iBooks or Kindle Unlimited?

I'm so angry right now; in fact I'm absolutely livid. All I'm trying to do is overcome my anger by reading Thic Nhat Hanh's book called Anger, but unfortunately I bought it in the Kindle version. I say unfortunately for two reasons:
1. I actually had to buy the book twice in Kindle because you have to pay ten dollars a month in order to read a book in Kindle, but because I stopped making payments I lost the Kindle Unlimited as well as all the books I purchased, so when I had to get a new Kindle I had to buy the book for a second time.
2. And this is the main reason: I'm trying to read but can't help but be completely distracted by the big, bright, and annoying light coming from the margin on top the screen on my MacBook Pro. I don't know what it's called but it's the bright margin with all the listings like Safari, File, Edit, View etc. I can't find any way to get rid of that, whereas in iBooks, in I open that up, it completley covers all of that and I can read in peace.

I guess I will have to keep being angry until I can afford to buy the book for a third time in the iBooks.

Supplies for a three day solo camping trip?

Not much here, but I'm going to clear some of that smoke in my head and take to the New Mexico mountains for three days. I want to run by some of my supplies. It's been a few years since I last trekked into the wilderness like this, so if I'm missing something or if you could recommend something, I would be very gracious.

So I have about three days supply of dry food, mostly freeze dried Mac n cheese and chicken. I have my sleeping bag and a single person tent, a pair of day clothes, a thermal shirt and pants for sleeping, an extra pair of pants, a fleece coat, a fleece hat, my ax, my knife, a waterproof case for electronics and my fire starters, a poncho, a space blanket(never really needed it, but it's compact), a few pieces of kindling. This seems like all I need for a couple of days.

Oh and I also have my revolver in case of an emergency. Other than that, if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!
