You just don't get it.  "Elitist" isn't the 
character-assassinating swearword you want it to be.  I 
believe in recognition of and rewards to merit, and it 
is clear that, because of differences in ability, there 
will be a natural elite.  There's nothing "unfair" (a 
meaningless word) or undemocratic about it.

What's sad, dumb LCD Rusty, is that you have been so 
thoroughly indoctrinated with a completely bogus sense 
egalitarianism as a social organizing principle.  Wait; 
"indoctrinated" is too tough a word for a prole like 
you; how about "brainwashed"?  You clearly suffer from 
a low intellect and an overpowering sense of envy 
toward your intellectual betters.

Call me an "elitist" if it makes you feel better, LCD 
Rusty.  It only make me sneer at you that much more.
