Upper "class" vs the rest of us; is it just a battle of semantics? And why do people defend the rich, being poor?

One answer is that common folk (of whom Mark Twain said God must love because He made so many of them) enjoy fantasying. Throughout history, they have idealized the wealthy and the powerful. For example, while she is of little practical value, never the lessthe English revere Queen Elizabeth II.

Children have long been raised on fairy tales of Kings and Queen, Princes and Princesses. Actors and actresses, performers of all genre (including Charlie Sheen - some pay hundreds of dollars to see his one man and two hos road show), occupy the public's rapt attention. Then there are the boisterous politicians and media pundits who too are adulated.

The simple answer is that it is in our nature. Bill1939 56 months ago.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
