They're surrounded by their army of goons out on their remote islands, and in their isolated and gated communities ... riding back and forth to their cocktail parties inside their 21st century, million-dollar, bulletproof limos.
Living inside that world can really create an illusion of real safety.
It's easy to see how they can occasionally fall under the delusion that the common-man need not be treated Constitutionally, with fairness and respect, even right here in the Good 'ol "... land of the free and the home of the brave."
But who was it said, "God is indeed on the side of the 'Little People' .... that's why he made so many of them."
