If you insist on calling me an elitist, I will bow to your wishes.

"Elitism is the belief or attitude that some individuals — a select group of people with intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes — are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.[1]"

Ah, KTC ... you can dodge, duck, and weave all you want, but there is still an arrow sticking out from the middle of your chest, nonetheless.

As for your suggestion ... which is quite telling, I might add, because it shows your sensitivity to the truth ... that I asserted all elitists come from the so-called "blue states," I did not say that at all. I never even mentioned the term "blue states." What I did say was that elitists are trained up by the culture of the Ivy League schools. Culture, KTC ... culture. Tsk, tsk, KTC ... you really must do something to improve your poor reading comprehension, ol' boy. There are plenty of families who come from the so-called "red states" who are nonetheless deeply immersed in and an integral part of the culture of the Ivy League schools, and the schools that are direct members of the Ivy League are not the only schools across the country that are a part of the culture of the Ivy League schools.

So, why don't you get down off your donkey and start trying a little harder to comprehend what's actually being said, instead of just resorting to your typical, smart-ass responses that you throw out there when you're out of intellectual ammo.

B.
