That strikes me as a reasonable observation. I'll go a step further to say that it is also not self-evident that there is even such a thing as a "ruling class." If there was a ruling class, wouldn't they somehow be able to ensure that their most capable representatives were placed in high office? It's like the old put-down, "if you're so smart why aren't you rich?", only in reverse. -- Sandwichman
