The American royalty or rich came
from building up successful corporations that many carried the family name on
their products. I remember du Pont Glue that was around before the takeover of
Krazy Glue. Most of my mother’s broken china was repaired without her knowledge
from the miracle of the clear stuff in the green metal tube known as du Pont
glue. And for that product I am deeply grateful because it helped save my
reputation as a good child in my childhood till she took a good look at that
awful chia set. Yes American royalty like the du Pont family was this country’s
filthy rich from the production of some good helpful products but even they
behave badly and society seems to let them get away with stupid stuff too.
There is a movie in theaters
right now called Foxcatcher starring Steve Carell as the crazy John du Pont
wearing a fake nose so we don’t expect him to do something funny. The film also
stars Channing Tatum as the buff professional wrestler that the crazy rich guy
du Pont kills and spends his last days and dying in prison in 2010 at age 72. Stop.
I did not ruin the ending of the movie for you. This is American history and
you should know the true twisted story anyway. It is further proof that the rich
is filthy and can pretty much do whatever they want in life because money buys
you everything even if you are crazy.
This true sad story is in theaters
as our nation votes for more and more states to legalize the possession of pot
and other drugs. Foxcatcher brings back bad memories and maybe young guys rich
and poor should hear this sick story once again because it is a true story sad
for rich people and athletes and just about everyone. Steve Carell has the
difficult job of playing the
drug-addicted delusion of John du Pont. He has to have the lost eyes and
hallucination-induced fog that envelops from drug use. This story is about the manic
multi-millionaire and heir to the American chemical empire liked wrestling and
offered a much needed financial boost to the sport as well as swimming and pentathlon
through a thing he called Team Foxcatcher. It was a richly funded enterprise funded by du
Pont anchored at a sprawling training facility just outside of Philadelphia. Kevin
Jackson is a real person who won a Gold Medal in 1992 sponsored by Foxcatcher from 1990 to 1995
and who is now Iowa State’s wrestling coach. Kevin knew du Pont and said,” He thought
people were crawling through the walls and spying on him. At one point he was
so paranoid, John began carrying around a pistol with him. “ Rich people can do
whatever they want.
