<< . . . I believe "classism" will be with us for some time, as it is difficult for the man who has the discipline and brains to build a skyscraper or a revolutionary new software program, to relate to a bum vomiting his guts out next to a gutter on the side street of a major urban area. Although lurid, get the analogy?>> No, Terrence, I do not get the analogy. Would you like to explain this in other words, remembering that we are discussing classism, which is by definition a form of irrational discrimination, factoring in the evidence that alcoholism has a genetic component and is a treatable disease, not a moral failing, and also that the poor are no less intelligent or generally capable of success than anyone else if they have proper nutrition and access to quality public schools?
