It's weird to think---just as in the late sixties there were someone's unseen hands grooming and positioning Clinton and Kerry for a political future---there are some young men somewhere now being groomed and positioned for events 30 years hence..? Were there hundreds or thousands who were sent to Oxford and Moscow (Clinton) or handed out medals in photo-op Nam tours (Kerry), hoping that a couple would rise to the top 30 years later, or is it JUST the likes of Clinton and Kerry? Are the William Fulbright's and the Ted Kennedy's grooming some 20 year old in Iraq today?
Footnote: Both Clinton AND Kerry met John F. Kennedy while they were teenagers. What are the odds of that...
in the late sixties there were someone's unseen hands grooming and positioning Clinton and Kerry for a political futureThe sons and daughters of the elite, politically connected are ALWAYS groomed and receive the choice opportunites that the working class, read: middle America, never even hear of.
That is why when a politician, like John Edwards, says there are two Americas, one for the rich and one for everyone else, he knows of what he speaks.
Those connected few get the glory, but we get the honor.
