Camden's most famous resident ever is Walt Whitman, and in 1888, our egalitarian bard opined to Horace Traubel, "The n-word, like the Injun, will be eliminated: it is the law of races, history, what-not: always so far inexorable--always to be. Someone proves that a superior grade of rats comes and then all the minor rats are cleared out."

Quite a few people can be categorized as minor rats these days, and they are certainly at the mercy of the superior rats. Unable to reach or even identify these superior rats, billions of minor rats are left to fight over scraps of garbage and tear each other apart. This carnage will only get much worse.
