...also, I think the demarcation between academic merit and elitism (not to be confused with elite as a positive, for example; Dustin Pedroia is an elite 2nd baseman as opposed to an elitist second baseman) have been vanquished in a deliberate attempt to weaken critical dialogue about an issue in dispute. Dismissing others as "elitist" does far more harm to the voting public and the working class conservative/republican self interest than the actual consideration of alternative points of view. This logic is what got Bush elected to a 2nd terms in office, and look what we have after 8 years of him at the helm and 6 years of his chums controlling both houses of congress; Far more harm than good!
Ohhh...but wait, Bush went to Phillips Academy, Yale and Harvard Business school. So if anyone's been hoodwinked, bamboozled, run-a-mucked, its been Joe Six Pack and his boy Bubba who believed Bush was one of them.
Guess what, you been HAD!!!!
Now pass the %$%$%$%$in merlot!!
