Isn't the point of 6 degrees that we all do?

I don't believe it actually works for most people, right?

Sure it does. I bet everyone on this board has six degrees to President Obama.

2 degrees to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. So from there 6 degrees would extend to a lot of famous people.

1 and 2 degrees to most Senators so from there most Congresspeople, numerous Presidents, Governors, current and past Presidents and then off to lots of celebrities.

I do think this works for most people, most people just do not know it.

Here's one I just found out about this weekend. In sixth grade, my teacher had three children of her own. I signed up to do school plays, and they were directed by a scary sixth grade teacher who was known for screaming at students. But I really loved acting, more than I was scared of him. My teacher's oldest son, played the piano and did all the music for these plays. He was in high school, I think.

This weekend I found out my sixth grade teacher is dead. And that her son went in to make music his career and has done so well at it that he is friends with Harvey Fierstein. Like, they joke back and forth to each other on Facebook.
