“I AM bitter! I’m diein’ here, and’ I think this Dr. Omaba . . . Well, at least he’ll listen to me, and talk to me with respect.”

“Yih . . . mehbih so, but alls a same: he’s a blackun, an’ he’s an uppity eleetiss. Nah doan git us wrong he-ah. It’s not we minds his bein’ black so much . . . Nah, we kinds-a even maht lahk the guy, iffen he wuzn’t so uppity eleetis.”

The point I’m struggling to make is that, when you’re facing truly dire circumstances, why on earth would you not want one of the elite looking into the dire circumstances that are dragging you down? By the way, “elite” is defined as: 1. the most highly qualified people: An elite military squad. 2. A group or class enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status: An elite collection of academicians.

Philosopher Kings are the Only Political Elite Worthwhile

No more philosophizing crooks and endless panderers.

Talkers, readers, writers, and thinkers are the only citizen elite that is worth a damn. AND THEY CAN'T BE BOGUS.

An "Old Army Vet" and liberal, qua liberal, with a passion for open inquiry in a neverending quest for truth unpoisoned by religious superstitions. Per Voltaire: "He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity."

I truly have no idea what you're talking about. Oh yeah, don't misunderstand, I'm very familiar with "The Republic," and how, after innumerable trips around and about, the old gent still was unable to define "justice," the purpose behind the adventure. As were virtually all the Pythagoreans and gnostics, they weren't even close to anything other than bull.

That, however, misses my initial difficulty with your response: What the hell are you trying to say?
