Elites are everywhere!

There’s been a bit of a dust-up over Charles Murray’s recent anti-elitist manifesto. Apparently Murray, who is a scholar at a major think tank and a well-known writer and political thinker, is not an elitist. But mountain bikers are. Anyways, Claire Berlinksi has a quiz everyone should take to determine whether you might be an elitist yourself and not even know it! You might even be an out-of-touch elitist.

David Frum has done an especially good job dissecting Murray’s ridiculous piece. I don’t have a whole hell of a lot more to add, myself, except that I think to some degree everyone engages in this elite-mongering.
