I agree with some other posts on this thread. There are two classes of people in this country- the oligarachy and everyone else.
When weird stuff happens to the oligarachy the rest of us are in mortal peril.
Remember, Vince Foster was unquestionably a suicide!
Best regards,
I think you will find that some people matter more than others regardless of where you go. It's not an American thing.
The World is too big. Nobody can keep track of it all. As omnipresent media has grown, this problem has gotten even worse.
The solution is to have maybe 200,000 People Who Matter (PWMs), and everybody else. The PWMs get on TV and the newspaper, they get elected to high office or become celebrities, they become common household names. Victor and Betsy Gotbaum are most definitely PWMs.
Everybody else just muddles along, loved only by their families. They merit no attention unless they are interfacing with a PWM at a particular point in time.
So when a PWM gets treated like a regular person, it is big news. When one dies in a drunk tank, it is really big news.
