Re social orders with huge divisions between haves and have-nots.....this may be the natural order. If I may use the United States for an example, it's hip to be hot and hip to be not.

It is way uncool to be middle class or middle anything -- God forbid you have a print of some sappy popular painter on the wall v. bold brush strokes of someone a little scrappier.

If you got billions you can sleep in the Lincoln BR. If you got soul you represent the most monolithic voting bloc in the land. If you got a mortgage, a mini-van and a relationship with Kaiser, you pay all the bills and get none of the thrills.

I exaggerate, of course. Then, again, I am elitist and can exaggerate when ever I please.

I would be interested in knowing what societies you think fair. Three of them perhaps. Not an invitation to argue. Just curious.
