Sure, it's old. All the more reason to fight it unrelentingly. Some day, it will be defeated. 'Ecrasez l'infame'... (not relating to religion here, Martin, just a quote out of context).

Ah, yes, the gated community syndrome....but I thought the insulation of the rich, whether before the French Revolution, the rulers of Egypt, or in the superbungalows of  the Gulf, is an old, old process, starting with maintaining distance and culminating in deification (on page 3, nowadays.) In every field, "exclusive" (read exclusion of the Others) is the name of the privilege game.
