Oh, but you did mention it!  And it has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not you're among the elite.  From what you've said on this site, you've attended the whositz school of economics, you've travelled, you've been in charge of companies and hiring and firing people, you live in the Bay area, and you invest in the stock market.

None of these says anything about you as a person, but you're certainly in a privileged position, by your own telling of it.  Still, it's your lack of understanding of how the lower half live that betrays you... <ducks and runs>

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
