Re: [-empyre-] Sense and sensibility

["Saul Ostrow" <sostrow@gate.cia.edu>]

Democracy - science - literacy were  and for some continue to be some of those concepts
thought accessible only to an elite, a thought would be found to be either boring,
incomprehensible, unengaging or irrelevant by a mass audience who are obviously only
capable of understanding the most base concepts 

actually I find your statement below offensive and demeaning it is cariacturish  and
represents a paternalistic and low opinion of what people may or may not find
interesting if people like you thought of how those elite concepts might be shown to be
relevent to thier lives
