VV($) - The Daisy Chain

[David Morris]

Er, it seems to me that this Michael Houellebecq quote isn't so much about 
sex being independent of money and class but more about how it is a "system 
of differentiation" (Daisy Chain) equivalent to money and class.  The truly 
elite have all three going for them.

BTW, the "$" in this post's title was a typo, meant to be "4."
