greenish,
Just a thought, concerning those who might mistake your willingness to desire or wish being in the "elite". What can we do to avoid such a misunderstanding? Let's think....oh, here's one...stop referring to others as feces throwing monkeys. Is it really that hard to refer to humans in the human sense and use our language to describe us? Are humans to be permitted not one shred of dignity in the new communal dream/horror/utopia?
RC
We're all apes, and it's sometimes more accurate not to couch everything in human euphemisms.
I can think of nothing which ultimately more endangers actual human dignity than the delusion of a worldview woven of anthropocentric euphemism.
And it's your assumption that feces-flinging monkeys don't have dignity. I don't doubt they feel they have the moral as well as tactical high ground.
Sorry you don't like the metaphor. I support dignity for all creatures.
