Read Migs response to you up above.

You, like me and others, were born into a wealth billions have never known and will not know. Even so, you can lose whatever advantage you now have--in a heartbeat.

Pioneers and forefathers? How about union organizers, socialists, and communists and just plain hard working lugs who never had enough time on their hands to think about the common pleasures we take for granted. Men who started working when they were children and who continued throughout their adult life to work six twelve hour work days a week and got drunk on Saturday night. What about their children? What about the man who went to prison for producing a movie about the Spirit of '76 during World War I because it was seen as aiding and abetting the enemy? What about the race riots that broke out in 1917 and the Red Summer of 1919? What about the lynching of a protester wrapped in an American flag? What about the labor massacre in Chicago? What do you know about those events? Anything at all?
