The squeaking wheel gets the greese!!

     Always remember that there are two sides to every story.  The demonstrations that occurred on the campus of the University of Missouri is a prime example of that.  It matters not what the demonstration is going to be about, you will find someone who is willing to demonstrate with you.  It is possible that you can get others to go along with you even if you yourself are not even remotely connected with the demonstration.
     Enter one Johnathon Butler who avowed that he was "oppressed" and referred to "white privilege".  However, it appears that Johnathon Butler is far from being "oppressed" and certainly is far more "privileged" than 90% of the people in the United States, all races included.  It is reported that his father, Eric L. Butler, is executive vice-president of Union Pacific Railroad and the poor family only made 8.4 million dollars in 2014.  Most of us could stand to be a little more oppressed, if he is oppressed.
     That being his lowly state in life he decides to go on a hunger strike and throw in a few demands along the way.  I have no doubt that many of the incidents that were mentioned actually happened.  But some of the things that it was reported that he was upset about were dubious at the very best.
     One of the complaints was that the President of  University of Missouri, President Wolf, did not respond adequately in the aftermath of the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri of Michael Brown.  That translates into the fact that President Wolf did not disagree with the preponderance of the evidence as gleaned by a grand jury.
     Another tremendous oppression was that the graduate students were "being robbed of their health insurance."  Where has he been for the last few years when everyone else were struggling with the drastic changes brought about by Obama care.  Maybe he should take that up with the President of the United States instead of the President of the University of Missouri.
     But on second thought, why should he not take that approach, it has worked wonderfully for Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.  He may be the next great leader in that respect.
