Income? Class? I'd have to agree with Jeff. There's no doubt that I and/or we have something in common with the people at the town hall and the typical bureaucrat in Concord. But when I think about the make up of the US Congress -- almost exclusively millionaire lawyers -- and the entire way higher political campaigns/office is funded at all levels, it is crystal clear there is a distinct difference. Marxists would talk about the "ruling class"; sociologists about "socio-economic status"; business types would refer to "people of means". Call it what you will, but this has been an issue for a very long time. Regards, . Randy -- "Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee." -- Famous American socialist (and blind person) Helen Keller, 1911. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
