Elitism

<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/04/22/news/state/60-burns.txt">Burns fundraiser to be held in Napa Valley</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Donors to Montana Sen. Conrad Burns will toast the Republican on a Napa Valley, Calif., wine tour this summer.<br />n<br />nThe July 15 fundraiser, scheduled a month after the Republican primary, is charging political action committees $3,000 and individuals $2,000 to attend.</blockquote><br />n<br />nWe wouldn't want those lowly Montanan to contribute to Burns's campaign now would we? Let's go to California and claim we are fighting Hollywood. Yea, that's it, go drink wine on Hollywood's door step, raise the kinds of money not available in Montana since nobody of importance lives there, and laugh all the way to the bank with our money. By the way, where is Montana?<br />n<br />n<b>Chinks in America’s egalitarian armor are not hard to find. Democracy is the fig leaf of elitism. Florence King </b>
