They all do, gab. It isn't just that orange gibbon and his hooting progeny... we allow anyone with money and/or fame to get away with 'it' all the time. We fawn all over them, because we were told the height of intelligent, practical Americans is to BE them. We had this DRILLED into us as children. (Well, most of us did anyway.)

We always want to claim that we are the Land of this or that, but when you look around in the real world, you see that most people are supplicating at the foot of the Almighty Dollar(R), and anyone who happens to have it... regardless of where and how they got it.

One either has wealth, or has to die helping someone else get more of it. There are no other options.
