The following link from 7/13/14 TW takes us to http://www.tulsaworld.com/uploaded_photos/sc-people/image_0d4363dd-cea1-5a85-b475-390fb8bc2915.html  where the scion of Tulsa's 1% is found sporting natty threads (don't miss the shoes) possibly derived from Brooks Brothers Gatsby collection: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/The-Great-Gatsby-Collection/mens-the-great-gatsby,default,sc.html?pmin=1&start=24&sz=24  The only thing lacking in the photo to make the ensemble complete is a boater hat--though the insouciant grin is perhaps more suggestive of Bertie Wooster than Jay Gatsby.   Sleep well O Prince of Industry (inherited), Dream not of the Bastille,...

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

So many say it (Austin, Portland, etc), but so few actually walk the walk.....Odd is good!

I don't resent them. $698 shoes and playing the parts of a novel based on wealth disparity and greed that the real world is currently re-living, makes their lives seem more like a boring screenplay than reality. Bastille day should be a life lesson and warning but probably means nothing to them. As dreary, futile and oppressive as the real world can be, it feels more secure than theirs and I prefer it.
