Erik,<br /><br />One of the things that persuaded me to drop my subscription to the "Tablet" was the seeming lack of education demonstrated in its editorials. Many was the time that a polemical position was taken on the basis of a strawman that had no basis in fact, when the facts concerned could be easily checked. <br /><br />These seem not to be the actions of an "educated elite" (I am a great fan of true elitism, myself) but of those dedicated to the "will to power" that Nietzsche so clearly foresaw.Gregory the Eremitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652447286252910371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-73641100506426490772009-04-19T02:38:00.000+01:002009-04-19T02:38:00.000+01:00Don't you know only the 'educated' elite should be...Don't you know only the 'educated' elite should be allowed to speak?Fr.
