Clark we hardly knew yee


I'm very excited to see Clark Rockefeller back in the news again. This is a true American story. An immigrant travels to America to circumvent the countryside German schnitzel eating life and came to America's shores with a dream of what might be.

Through posturing and a light education Christian Gerhartsreiter ascended to the ranks of high society ultimately adopting one of our financial system's icons, Rockefeller, as his sir name. He woos a high society woman and sires a child, who proves the only foil to his cunning; his love for the child trumping any of his other aspirations.

Crazy, no I don`t believe him to be crazy in the clinical sense. But he had a dream, and dreams are sometimes crazy. Like the dreams of a toddler to one day travel in space, lead a nation or compose music that can tap the springs of human emotion. His dream was to live a life most are only afforded through their birthright. We all entertain aspirations of greatness, and once we cease to wonder what could be, we cease to live.

Dream on Mr. Rockefeller, dream on sir.

(If the murders in California are found to be a result of his handiwork, I take this all back.)
