The "elite" in the manifesto are not the real "elite" imo, only those foolish enough to believe they are in positions of real power. <BR/>There are socioeconomic class discrepancies all along the spectrum. I have lived along much of the spectrum from impoverished to what the author terms "elite", and the views of people I have and do know in those strata are quite interesting. Most have not experienced such a variance in their economic status, and their comprehension of the reality of life at other levels is often ignorant, as it necessarily must be so of one that is inexperienced. The author cynically alludes to the relationship of education to liberalism, and I guess even though I believe a good chunk may never truly understand what they are arguing for or against out of ignorance, it should never be shunned if they are committed enough to try to mitigate their ignorance.Susannityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210780837036294672noreply@blogger.com
