"They are snobbish, aloof, far detached from the hard realties of the world, and prefer only their own company. " ROFL you can say this about a lot of different groups of people prejudice - it's a beautiful thing

Here's my experience: This fellow ryerson.ca was parked next to me up at Lolo Hot Springs in Montana, in 1963 as I recall--about the same time he published "The Second Stone." His Volkswagen bus had a flat tire but he clearly had no idea what to do about it. My friend and I changed the tire for him, ignoring his muttering which made no sense anyway. I knew who he was because he was a tenured professor at the university where I was a student. I also knew that his son and his son's friends made up a small group of pioneering hippies who were the only scruffy representatives of that breed on campus. He didn't know who I was, which is fine with me. After I graduated, I worked in the state of New York. While driving through the New York countryside listening to the radio, I heard an announcement that this very same chap had been busted at Syracuse University for some kind of drug offense. This bit of information was of no surprise to me based on my personal experience with him, which consisted of changing his flat tire. Fiedler considers himself an intellectual, I'm sure. I see no reason to admire him for that. He's clueless when it comes to things that really matter. Like changing a tire. I guess it takes all kinds. Some kinds I prefer to avoid, and he's one.
