So during another tête-à-tête session with my sibling regarding turns of events of late, a proposition just popped out in my mind. To understand the predicament of others, especially for someone in power when his decision would affect all strata of society, he has to have tasted the agony and hopelessness of poverty. Only then can he empathize with their sufferings. So that faux pas like what Marie Antoinette said to the starving peasants, during the royal banquet would not be repeated. ["Let them eat cake"]
Rich men's kids, born with a silver spoon, without a care or worry about the next meal may not be the best pacifier of the working class. Dubya would make the best example who just swished through his tenure with his clueless stare, leaving a trail of destruction at every nook of the world.
But then....wait!
