Not that I'm wishing it, but thinking about the lack of empathy (and certainly lack of sympathy) of many of our great and glorious political leaders... hasn't bad shit happened to them too? Yeah, sure, for years I've been seeing conservatives (#notjustconservatives) take up a pet cause which makes them seem human only to discover the cause is something which affects them personally somehow, but are so many lives so wrinkle free that only one bad thing gets through? Sure having money helps a lot, but money doesn't solve all problems.
