  it's not necessary to use harsh words like "ridiculous": compare the rather   
  moralistic mode you and terrance are writing about this specific class issue  
  with the way pynchon (who probably read herbert marcuse's essay on liberation) 
  puts it in the introduction of slow learner:

  "the success of the 'new left' later in the '60's was to be limited by the   
  failure of college kids and blue-collar workers to get together politically.  
  one reason was the presence of real, invisible class force fields in the way  
  of communication between the two groups."

  no blame game here, all pretty balanced: why?
