I disagree fundamentally. No, the president should not cut the "line".

> especially if it doesn't hurt anyone else That's exactly the problem. Cutting the line DOES hurt other people. You could quibble over each case to determine if it actually does, but that is a waste of time. The only democratic, humane, and reasonable approach is to not allow this type of thing.

And I am aware that it happens all the time, but there's a difference between accepting that it will happen and endorsing it.

If there was a drug that makes people smarter, I would want it to go to people who need it, just like everything else.

So if the president ends-up in a random ER in a specific city while he was traveling, you are suggesting that he does the line like everyone else? What exceptions should he have, none?
