That is a great analysis and to think that all these years, I have been duped into believing the Class Bashing Propaganda of Marxist Hollywood.

Paragraphs are a tool of the bourgeois oppressors!

Thanks... I've always felt Cameron was a bit over the top when showing the wealthy as evil. (They must have voted Republican.) Such rubish.

I have yet to see Titanic, and now have every reason not to.

I think the big paragraphs got better treatment than the smaller paragraphs.

I would believe that there were good and bad among all passenger classes on the Titanic.

God sank the Titanic,
He can sink your canoe.
Whether you're rich or poor
Whether you're young or you're old



The dark water is deep,
and that water is cold
God sank the Titanic,
He can sink your canoe.

Is the disproportionate death ratio between first and third class passengers a function of the location of the third class deep in the bowels of the boat,

Well, it's hard to deny that the bottom of the boat sinks first. That's another reason to be rich before booking an ocean cruise, so you can afford a stateroom up on deck.

That may sound callous, but sea travel has always involved preferential treatment for those who paid well. The same goes for other forms of travel.

I don't get jealous of the people flying first class when I'm stuck back in tourist class, I expect that when I buy the cheap seats.
