Truer words never spoke, Tom.

But what really blows me away is that the self-proclaimed "digerati" want to pretend that they are the savoirs of the "little guy" - the disadvantaged, the underprivileged, the working man, the counter-culture, etc. This has got to be the ultimate scam.

These clowns (led by Louis Rossetto, publisher of "Wired" magazine - which makes all its money from adds for high-priced Vodkas, gadgets, and cothes) proclaim themselves as the second coming of Christ. The sad reality is they are nothing more than the nouveau-riche of the late 20th century. They figured out how to make a big pile of money and they work round the clock adding to their pile and figuring out ways to sculpt society so they can make even more in completely selfish abandon.

See the latest issue of "Upside" magazine where they rip Rossetto and his bullshit to shreds.
