+1 On a slight tangent: I'm still confused about why so many feel compelled to prefix "elite" with "liberal". If this were really about anti-elitism, we'd see just as much silly spewage toward buffoons like Trump (who just knows better -- trust him -- he's the only one who can make america great again). Despite my confusion, I'm inclined to believe it's because only really lazy people yap incoherently about "elitism." The rest of us work our butts off to specialize ... elite machinists, elite cowboys, elite bow hunters, elite beer drinkers ... I am an elite. But I'm not a liberal. So, the bias(es) inherent in articles like this are blatantly obvious. > On Thu, Dec 1, 2016 at 10:27 AM, Owen Densmore <o...@backspaces.net > <mailto:o...@backspaces.net>> wrote: > > I love it.
