she's implying that the quality of privilege is a zero-sum game.

Truly excellent point. It reflects her socialist mind set, doesn't it? Socialists see the economy in similar terms. If an entrepreneur is getting rich, it can only be because some else is becoming poor. Imagine what destitution Bill Gates must have caused in their eyes!

I think she meant statures.

That does seem most likely.

That's exactly what I was thinking. :)

a far-left listserv to which I surreptiously subscribe!

How can you stand to? I subscribed to what was supposed to be a technical list, but it turned out to be an anti-Bush hippie circle jerk, so I had to bail.

Well, it's a local listserv which gives me info on the wacky doings of the wigged-out left in my town. In addition to entertaining items like this one, there are conspiracy theories a go-go. WTC was a controlled detonation, Karl Rove shot down Wellstone's plane, etc. Better than the funnies.
