I bet the rich know this and don't care, because they are rich and can escape to some island in the middle of the Pacific and build an armed bunker. Crackpot theory? I sincerely hope so. My name is Dixon L. Creasey, Jr. and  I hate what this country has become. If shit like this keeps happening, there is going to be a class war.
