Joey is more a representation of white, Western society in general with the Donald the 1% of that. There are some exceptions, but most of the world's wealth is centered in what would be called the Western World.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-14032652271765306332017-01-03T03:07:02.016-08:002017-01-03T03:07:02.016-08:00I applaud you, sir.

I wish we could all make a bigger ripple in this rip-tide of bullshit, but Donalds and Joeys of the world continue to block their ears every time we speak reason and chant 'BLAH BLAH BLAH' instead of listening or acting.

Here's the problem, though: some of those kids who aren't Joey or Donald will defend Joey and Donald's 'rights' to keep the cookies, arguing that because Joey and Donald amassed them you can't take them away -- even if they were ill-gotten.<br /><br />And if too many of the kids start to wonder about that logic, Joey and Donald get the other kids to all start arguing about ANYTHING BUT the cookies -- say by picking on someone's clothing or height, so that the rest of the class spends their time bickering about inessential things rather than focusing on the cookies.<br /><br />By the way, I'm thinking Joey is the Democratic party.
