Quote from jem:
You know those kids who were the born leaders, the born quarterbacks, the smart guys and gals with the personality who worked hard at sports and school so they could get into college and do something with their lives.
You know the other kids who stood around the tree and got stoned all day and then went to college and took courses without grades and went into fields like sociology?
That first group of kids went on to be successful and did not like the fact that loser sociologists were being paid to come up with phony studies. So the winners who made money became republicans and saids stop spending and stop taxing us for stupid programs. The losers who always resented the successful people and became democrats. In fact some them even gleefully tried to change the great parts of this country by supporting other losers who wanted to spend and tax.
Then a funny thing happened some of the really successful kids made so much money they realized they could manipulate both parties to do what they wanted.
