over the course of spending the last 2 weeks in washington d.c. i have had the lovely pleasure of making the acquaintance of several of the children of our country's political vips, and i have to say - about 95% of them are complete screw-ups! i'm normally not one to go throwing other people under the bus, but then again, if you would have witnessed the antics of howard dean's son last saturday night or those of al gore jr. the weekend before, you would question their sanity and morality too.
this got me to thinking...
why do accomplished, honorable, highly intelligent people breed imbeciles? no i'm not strictly referring to the two cases mentioned above (their contribution to society could be argued...), but i am referring to parents who have horrible, ungrateful children when the parents in question seem to be successful people.
what really bothers me is that all these kids haven't done a damn thing, they simply ride the coattails of their parent's hard work and accomplishments. they have loads of money, but they have no real respect for what it took to get their family in such a fortunate situation. however, to play devil's advocate (because i love doing so), i think there is a direct correlation between having a time consuming, demanding job and children suffering for lack of attention. in a lot of these scenarios, father dearest was probably never home, thus resulting in a subpar relationship with his family.
okay i'll stop analyzing, but these kids need to shape up. or else - i'm going to release my horribly incriminating pictures to the media for an undisclosed sum...
