Show Description
Shep reads a recount of Queen Victoria's Coronation, and talks about the aristocracies of the 18th century French and 19th century English. Humor vs Satire - "Report exactly what you see - that will be humor" People elected to office are from a world that is totally remote from the kind of life that 99.9% of the population they are governing come from. There is becoming a large gulf between the governing people and the people they govern. Why people elect the 'aristocracy' - does it take smartness to get rich or just shrewdness. Look up the meanings of Wisdom and Shrewd. Shrewd leads to wealth, wisdom does not.
