I couldn't agree more. Indeed, in following this thread I am
thinking yet again about how those who shout loudest about elitism
etc are often the most elitist, drawing as they do on the reserves of
self-confidence and surety of purpose that almost always comes from
the material and emotional security that what we might term `lites'
have...
Just a thought, not a provocation!
