If he'd said "ruled by meritocracy" one might be suspicious because Jews and
Asians are often perceived to be (on average) high achievers. However "ruled
by meritocracy" would more likely merely be stating a (nonracist-motivated)
truth about America. It may not be the whole truth. The influence of Wealth
is obviously and natuarally very considerable. Social barriers to success
are low however. And of course merit is positively related to wealth.
>>>>>>olio fargolio, by way of the central highlands of vietnam/cambodia and the
souls of the living dead, pleased to meet you all. went under a rock in
dripping springs, tx in 1970, to lick my wounds. peeked out in 1980, saw no
river of blood and stood in the sun of those hills who gave breath to the
demon LBJ. took a modicum of revenge, but needed more. then, suddenly, in
1994 the magenta brocade curtain dropped w/o a hint and i was bathed in
silent darkness. in 1999, january, we knew it was terminal and now i live
in that special place where there is nothing left to lose. i am a 'newbie'
to this list, but a veteran of nuclear list flamewars which often have
removed all my facial hair; of course, a veteran of tp since the 1970 and
later the web when someone called the babe 'mosaic.' meritocracy ye say? i
give you no more and no less.
yes, quite true. finally! i know now why the u.s. military is controlled
by the asians and jews. love/olio
