ORIGINAL: Moonhead So one group thinks that The Sound Of Music is the best film ever, and the other knows that it's really The Seventh Seal. Gotcha. Exactly...but let me add that there is also an element of intellectualism vs elitism, especially when it comes to Bush. He went to Yale, but he's hardly an intellectual. Many believe his acceptance to Yale was due to family connections, which is elitism. The newest debate surrounding the next SCOTUS pick is about populists insisting that Obama select someone who is not a graduate of Harvard or Yale. This is anti-intellectualism disguised as anti-elitism. Got it? I hear you. Inverted snobbery is still snobbery, however you dress it up, true enough. Mind you, it isn't hard to see why the Republicans are down on intellectuals at the moment. Futuryama didn't do them a lot of favours, did he? Ron: you mean that talking to Americans on the internet will give me scurvy?
