  I thought the whole point of them complaining about "rules for thee, not for me" and "the elite" were class complaints, but now the goalposts are moved and so anyone who excels at anything is part of "the elite"? Yes, I suppose the kulaks were members of the bourgeoisie after all, for they had skills, and skills are capital, and thus they are part of the oppressor class -- the elite. Indeed, his mother, a nurse, and his father, as an engineer, both possessed intellectual capital and are thus counterrevolutionaries. Just to be clear: the above is somewhat tongue in cheek and obviously nothing about the boy's background should be relevant in a violent crime case, and his was particularly disgusting.

  Seriously, top athletes live on another planet in University. I remember working at the UT-Austin textbook store in my 20s and while everyone else had to find what they needed on their own, the football team had special permits they could bring you to not only get their books for free but you had to go get them for them
