<<people 3rd class Titanic having a laugh at the 1st class.>>

In fact the 3rd class has subsidized the 1st class and that is what has kept the Titanic afloat. Subsidies, provided by the 3rd class, can't keep up with the appetitie of the 1st class passengers, which grew by the day since about 1986 when I first read the written in the wall.

But there is a slight difference from the Titanic ship now: No one pinned down to the beds or chairs of the Titanic. What we are about to see is a scramble for the lifeboats. Which, also differently from the Titanic metaphora, are not earmarked in a class by class basis.

It is going to be sheer social Darwinism at work. Who could do more, will cry less. Will the apartment cats, raised on madam's lap, treated with Provolone cheese and low fat milk, survive the competition against the tom cats full of scars as proof of the fight for every day's meal?

I am not saying the apartment cats will lose, I am just saying I just want to watch the fight, seating down and laughing.
