Ethan Couch pleaded affluenza in defense of his monstrous actions, but it sounded a lot more like rebella to me --- both he and his over-indulgent dad had been bucking the system in ways that didn't even make sense; rather than refusing to do something unreasonable, they were merely wanting a "bigger slice of the social pie" than they deserved; i.e., they were protesting against necessary and appropriate requirements that everyone has o abide by in order to co-exist harmoniously with fellow humans and not be a burden or danger to athers.
