Let's keep our targets a bit clear here. I don't recall the "caste system" argument appearing. I thought Tim and TP were arguing about class systems and I read Tim to say we don't have class in the US because that's inherited and we are a meritocracy. No doubt Tim will correct me in a subsequent post. We are definitely not a meritocracy. And, I agree with you, we are not a caste system. Good to get that agreement on the record. I'm going to put it on the front of the refrigerator downstairs. Kholt and JohnM agree that stratification in the US cannot be called a caste system. ;-)
