Skip the Line
I saw the headline on MSN asking, Should we pay organ donors? I didn’t go
on to read the rest but my answer is that if we do then the organ donors are no
longer donors but instead sellers. There is a black market for organs where
they can be bought and sold, I am sure, so where am I going with this? Well for
enough money you can get an organ and not have to wait in line. Kind of like
the head of line privilege scam at Disney where you could pay to hitch up with
a disabled person and skip the lines for a fee. Then recently the mayor of
Jacksonville managed with the help of Corrine Brown, to get his passport, skipping
the process we with no privilege go through, so he could attend a Jaguars-49ers
game in London, England this weekend. The first report said he misplaced his
passport but later it appeared he was fast tracked through in Miami implying
that maybe he hadn't misplaced his passport after all. Power hath its privilege
also, so it seems. No mention of whether or not actual money changed hands in
the mayor’s case. The Representative said she was just helping out one of her
constituents. This may be why a line gets drawn in the sand so to speak, after
all if you can’t scuff the line up and obliterate it, you might as well just
skip it.
