David Stern: The Luckiest Man in America...

[PCIntern]

During the Gulf War all those years ago, do you happen to remember the truck driving off the bridge at the exact instant that an American Bomb/Missile destroys said bridge? General Schwarzkopf remarked during the briefing that the driver was the "luckiest man in Iraq". This comment was met with some fair amount of laughter, both in the room, and at home, where live-action war was reduced to video-game status.

Well, I would think that former NBA Commissioner and Lord High Executioner David Stern must be counting his blessings about now. His truck left the Arena, just in time.

As an aside, what troubles me beyond belief is not that a guy like this says this stuff: it is who stays silent in the aftermath.

almost anyone, that is...

These people spend so much time in the bubble of wealth that they become dissociative. I have seen that over the years with friends and acquaintances...I wrote a short story years ago about this on a small scale...
