The rich are not like us

The late news regarding the Harvard Voice's calculated stalking of Emma Watson, now a Brown student, at the Harvard-Brown football game, should help explain why rich, entitled young brats grow up to be rich, entitled old brats. They are born with, brought up with, and continually reinforced in, the idea that no emotions or sensibilities matter but their own.

The Voice's editor is quoted at this link and elsewhere as saying, “There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog... these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown.”

Uh-huh. So let's say I go out and adulterate your gas tank. Then, the car starts, only to fail in heavy traffic, thereby causing a fatal accident. It would be OK because it was "intentionally outrageous and overblown"?

On second thought, I suppose it wouldn't. I never went to Harvard.
