do you mean by the police and people they respect? Police are PAID to PROTECT and SERVE the community. They aren't doing it out of volunteerism.
Superman, um, he is a comic book character, he is FICTIONAL.
Red Cross as an non profit organization has people who come to them for assistance.
Red Cross Charter:
Quote:
The purposes of the corporation are:
(1) to provide volunteer aid in time of war to the sick and wounded of the
armed forces, in accordance with the spirit and conditions of:
(A) the conference of Geneva of October, 1863;
(B) the treaties of the Red Cross, or the treaties of Geneva, of
August 22, 1864, July 27, 1929, and August 12, 1949, to which the United
States of America has given its adhesion; and
(C) any other treaty, convention, or protocol similar in purpose to
which the United States of America has given or may give its adhesion;
(2) in carrying out the purposes described in clause (1) of this section, to
perform all the duties devolved on a national society by each nation that has
acceded to any of those treaties, conventions, or protocols;
(3) to act in matters of voluntary relief and in accordance with the military
authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United
States and the armed forces of the United States and to act in those matters
between similar national societies of governments of other countries through the
International Committee of the Red Cross and the Government, the people, and
the armed forces of the United States; and
(4) to carry out a system of national and international relief in time of
peace, and apply that system in mitigating the suffering caused by pestilence,
famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry
out measures for preventing those calamities.

they are a large part of the foundation of the economy in most of the southern and western states of our country, and turning on them would be stupid. If we were to suddenly remove them, do you know what would happen?
