Good article on why they are vanishing
Some may be showing up at the polls (and not necessarily voting in predicted ways), but others can barely get to the doctor’s office. You might find them behind the counter of a 7-Eleven, or in jail, or a desert bar. Should you have a conversation with such a soul, don’t be surprised if he lights up a Marlboro, takes a nice, long drag, and starts spinning out a story about being related to Jesse James. “I kid you not,” he might add, knowing that the world views him as inconsequential, and then he might down a shot and a beer, and after the next inhale, there may follow some prolonged and serious coughing and then, “I’m fine, no really.”
But he is not fine, not fine at all, although there is this one thing that makes him feel okay every now and then, and that is his connection with the iconic Jesse James. He was Scots Irish too, and they may even have descended from the same clan. Beyond that, he was famous. And nowadays, that’s all that really matters. So he tells this story to anyone who will listen, hoping it will lead to something else, anyplace, really, other than a survey that says his kind is dying.
