No kidding. The worst part about them is their presumptuousness. But Americans oblige them. I detest a herd mentality maybe more than anything.

What would the world be like if all people were like SU and detested and rejected the herd mentality? Would they be a herd b/c they all rejected the same thing? would human society survive b/c it needs collectivist thought in many areas to survive? Would everyone be their own prophet?

I hate the Kennedy's because they have such a sense of entitlement to political office. And the Clintons have the same sense.

Wouldn't it be great if Paterson passes over Caroline now that she has so publicly placed her hat in the ring? It would be a strong rebuke. I'd interpret the slight the way that would make me most happy: Just b/c you're a damn Kennedy doesn't mean you get any political office you may desire. Work for it, bitch.
