The Next Special Interest Group

Special interest groups, with their constant whinings and politico bullyings, are constantly vying for government handouts and societal sympathy.  Unsurprisingly, there are even schools which will teach you the finer arts lobbying.

It appears that the next special interest group which may enroll in the school of lobbying will be those who perceive themselves as treated unfairly, at least judging from the words emanating from the mouth of Nancy Kreiger, who is a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Nancy Krieger, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, said the study added to a growing field of research linking poor cardiovascular and mental health to racial and gender discrimination — two significant sources of unfair treatment.

Just imagine the size of a special interest group which represents those who perceive themselves as being treated unfairly, the possibilities are endless.  Maybe they’ll be able to spearhead the pharmaceutical development of a fairness pill, you know, it could make one feel predisposed to accepting socialist policies.

People who feel wronged can really take it to heart
