Maines is part of a strain spoiled rich party(recreation) people. They have been relieved of the life's responsibility. Other people are hired to do the family life for them. The never write a check, slide a debit card, cook a meal, turn down a sheet, take the children to the doctor, attend a parent teacher conference or read a book. The only work they perform is mixing bloody Marys on the butler's day off. Why should the regular people pay any mind to what they say? Why should the media even pass their messages?
