This isn't new, they've been doing it for decades (at least). "Elites" are those who want everyone in society to benefit from progress and the wealth and productivity of the nation. Treacherous ivory-tower no-goodniks, dangerously prone to basing their ideas on nonsense lies like reality and evidence. "Anti-Establishment Heroes" are those who want to restrict those benefits to themselves and their class. Champions of the common man, every one of them. craig -- craig sanders <c...@taz.net.au> _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
