Whence comes the revolution? Its all about the dessert cart.. .

While being whipped around by the cold wind and rain at Wrigley this afternoon waiting for the game that never happened, I couldn't help but notice a cart being being wheeled into one of the luxury skyboxes filled with all manner of delectible goodies.
As "Joe Six-Pack" stood in the stands being buffeted by blustery weather for hours, corporate types snuggled contentedly munching on eclairs and cheesecake, hmmmmm...what is wrong with this picture?

1. We've been programmed to accept economic inequality.

Simple, eh?

2. There is a world of difference.

I don't like basketball, but was once invited to the Skybox at Madison Square Garden for a Knicks game. What a pleasant evening that was.

Lots of food and drink, a comfortable sofa, and television to see the game if you didn't want to sit at the counter viewing the live game.

I also once attended a party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where you could smoke, drink, and eat, artifacts be damned. There was nothing to prevent a drunk from spilling alcohol on the highly prized carved wooden alligator.

There's an amazing difference between the rules for the rich and the rules for the rest of us.
