You need to get in touch with your inner preppie, like Ellis' American Psycho,as that's always been an important part of our identity.

All societies stratify themselves. It's part of hooman nature. In Renaissance times the northern Italian republics disintegrated due to interminable civic violence by rival aristocratic factions trying to dominate civil society and municipal government. Machiavelli's The Prince was inspired by that long decay and self-destruction of the republics. So what remedy do you suggest for constant, continual present day US jockeying and maneuvering for wealth and social status? A Pol Pot solution?...wink

Props for the picture.

Don Rich: Sojourner Truth, William Jennings Bryan, Frederick Douglas, John Brown, Clarence Darrow, Garrison, Samuel Gompers and Fighting Bob LaFollette have also been important aspects of our national identity.

That's true too RW, as long as we always remember the role for the northeastern conservative version of the preppie, who made this country safe for Ralph Lauren, BMWs, and microbrews. LOL.

I like flannel shirts, workboots and blue jeans.

Microbrews are ok, though

provided they use UNION LABOR

I seem to remember some best selling book that said something about Money being the Root or do you say Route of all Evil.
Total bollocks as it's the misuse of money that can create certain evils.

Money's only a problem when One doesnt have any.

"Jellied Eel anybody?"

Wow, that is disturbing!

Compared with today, the Titanic's rescue plan was downright democratic!

Epidemiologists will tell you the single most determinant of an individual's lifetime health and longevity is the mother's income during pregnancy. You can't get more basic than that.

Well it certainly proves that some people can make propaganda out of anything......

A whole new take on the expression "waitin' on wings".

Almost right; they probably had a raft for the first class and they might not have even had a wing for the rest.

I think they should remake "Battleship Potemkin," but have it be about a US aircraft carrier that has a mutiny in the Persian Gulf.

Jesus Christ Superstar! R

Why does this remind me of Lacan's diagram of the split subject as a single bisecting line leading to both Mens and Womens restrooms? Like he said, "public life is subject to laws of urinary segregation." Except that on planes.....

Well, whatever.

HAHAHA. One good find deserves another. This is a parody on the Internet hacker group who supposedly is organized to stop global corruption by those who "ride in first class". http://youtu.be/q24mXJSN91o
