In Defense of Elitism
Read this book by William Henry III.
It pretty much sums up the crux of the debate between the left and right on this board and anywhere else. Oh, and its not really partisan - it skewers the intellectual dishonesty of boths sides' positions. Damn fine book.
Of course, lefties will say its racist/classist/biased, but they always say that sort of shit when they have no argument. The right, of course, probably won't read it because its written by a Democrat.
And no, it is not defending the "elites" as the GOP describes them today. The title is a reference to the author's belief that our national obsession with creating an egalitarian society is (a) impossible and (b) destroying the country. Its even handed and very thought provoking.
