Thank you. I'm surprised my essay hadn't been read more; I'm finding people encountering it for the first time, lately, a lot.

I do feel that some important people have stumbled across it though, because a few months after I wrote it, I started to notice that the dialogue started to change. People even started embracing my term for them -- Elitists.

I don't know if I dare believe it, but there is a chance I have made a tiny bit of difference by writing that essay.

It's a good essay, but lots of us have been calling many pols "ELITISTS" for a very long time. :-)

Part of this nation's problems, is that far too few know any factual history of any kind and common sense has been beaten out of public discourse and memory.
