You: if you are raised as a prince you can't be a doofus.

Me: wow, what a peculiar world view - lot's of well of people are doofuses.

You: you are crazy.

So is the distinction that you can be wealthy and a doofus, but not royalty or raised in a royal household? Again, I find this a particularly peculiar, un-American, and disturbing world view. 

Since you clearly are all in on this viewpoint, could you expand on it a bit? What exactly are the elements of royalty or being raised in a royal household that prevent human flaws, errors, and failings? (Just to be absolutely clear, the definition of doofus is, "a stupid or foolish person." Doofus doesn't mean poor - perhaps that is where things went off the rails.)

You really don't know what royalty is?  Obviously not, since you think Charlie Sheen is royalty.  Still shaking my head over that one.  That is just plain goofy.

Years 1-40: From Slave to Prince

Born the son of a Hebrew slave, Moses survived because he was rescued, saved and eventually adopted by Pharaoh's daughter (Exodus 2:1-10). He was given the best education, training and preparation that Egypt could offer (Acts 7:22). In keeping with education given to Egyptian royalty, he was probably tutored by retired military and political leaders. It must have seemed to all who knew him that Moses' first 40 years prepared him for leadership and fame.

Does that sound like a doofus?

And your definition of a doofus, which in no way describes Moses, btw, is a perfect description of Colin Kaepernick.  You know, your prophet, the guy who never said a word about the oppressed until now?  Did he care about the oppressed the first five years in the league or ever, for that matter or was he just keeping it to himself?

I'm sorry you don't recognize a publicity stunt when you see it, but I do.

And for the record, history is full of idiots from Royal families.  Moses was just not one of them.
