The tallest poppy gets cut down first.
I tend to respect people who have made themselves successful. I might get jealous from time to time at some of the crazy amounts of wealth people can achieve, but the only people who I despise are the snobby ones. You know the type, the people who view themselves as separate from humanity because of the size of their bank account. The people who actually view the lower classes as a machine upon which to stand. Yea, I'd be real quick to snap those poppies up.
Isn't that what Trump is going through? Democrats and Republicans, even if his present goals match their past goals, they're fighting him every step because he became POTUS and none of them did.
I was one of my schools best looking and I won a lot of sports related stuff. I felt if you gave certain people an inch they'd use all their power against you. It absolutely existed back then. My ex ripped off my picture on a university wall. Some losers from high school kept trying to go out with my exes and harassing them and they got upset enough to tell me about it.. people can be really weird and horrible
