They are not incomplete adults or empty vessels or anything less than full-fledged human beings with rights, including the right to be respected, heard, and responded to as fellow human beings and not inferior ones to be bossed around."<br /><br />Oh, agreed. But first we'd actually have to perceive the majority of people that way. Our culture (and maybe the world?) have been so conditioned by "meritocracy" that many of actually believe that the only people who deserve respect, being heard and responded to as fellow human beings and not inferior ones to be bossed around are those with advanced degrees and/or those making lots of money, thereby proving their superiority to the rest of us. That's a lot of what's fueling Bernie's revolution - the Democratic party has become the party of professionals and elites. The rest of us are sick of getting stepped on on someone else's way to the top. (Incidentally, if you haven't yet, read Thomas Frank's LISTEN LIBERAL for a fuller explanation of the Democrats (the alleged "Party of the People") pushing aside and almost literally spitting on the people.)Diennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570040547158789834noreply@blogger.com
