Because most definitions I receive are... Educated Well mannered Confident Hard working Independent I feel as if true elitists are the ones we should put in charge... mostly because I don't want Joe Six pack running America! The people accused of Elitism usually stand up for people's rights, they go against the norm and risk their own reputation to do something they feel is right and just in the world. Most "elitists" are charged with being "snobs", which I really don't have a problem with. It's really just people's shallow egos that cannot accept that someone is more qualified to be the leader of a nation than they are. Worst off, people accuse people of being elitist for doing the right thing... Recycling... not eating meat... riding a bicycle instead of a car... donating... All qualities of a supposed "elitist". And I'll be damned if reading Albert Huxley qualifies me as being "elitist". Are the masses really this ignorant? Can we no longer except enlightenment as a good thing?
those who have manipulated "the masses" into misusing the word elitist are the objective elitists though anyone deriding "the masses" -- or worse, "the sheep" -- are clearly the subjective elitists

Lol, yeah I was pretty tired when I typed that. I was mixing albert hoffman with Alfred Huxley again. Never claimed to be educated btw.
Well now you can use that as your excuse for not being an elitist! And by the way, it's Aldous :sunny:
