Slick may have been born white trash, but he spent decades at major universities and working within the democrat hiarchy to get where he got. What that got him and his wife, was influence over the media, and hence, the rest of us via the useful idiots who followed them.
The rest of us, who were more interested in making a buck, or in enjoyable professions like my own byte mashing, have little or no influence. That's not to say that had I chose to gain influence, I could not have. But I don't have it now, whether or not I deserve it as some kind of "right" is errelevant. The bottom line is, some number of people, maybe somewhere around 7000 of them, control the country. And I'm at their mercy.
