I was on a walk recently, and I saw a car drive by. It had on its license plate GATSBY – probably as in The Great Gatsby, a common read for many twentysomething punks. Beneath the car, had an Obama bumper sticker, giving away that this person is a rich Moonbat (or is a rich yuppie wannabee.)
I never read The Great Gatsby, and I think I am not missing anything. The book allegedly takes place in some yuppie area of Long Island turing the Roaring Twenties. I’ve read bits and pieces of other summaries, that the book essentially describes rich people who think from what I interrupted pretty liberal.  And rich too. And the book also describes the Prohibition Era – again goes back to the alcohol thing
What I have a problem is, people who think they are rich, that money buys them happiness, drink and party like its no ones business, and think voting Democrat is going to solve the world problems. I don’t like how people don’t feel the world around them, but they’ll care for someone in a third world country, and they piss money like its no ones business, and then induce themselves with so much alchies they just loose sight about the rest of the world.
I grew up in a town where there were rich anti socially drunk alcoholics, and alcohol really bothers me, I do drink – but once or twice a year. I never liked beer, and I have family members who have drinking issues. I just don’t like these classes of people. And I do know that this book was very popular on peoples Facebook account, back when the “network”  system was in use. I believe it was number 1 in my regional network, so I am not insane and retarded to say that this book has had some impact in society.
