Not sure what you're trying to say there. "People who think they should be the ruling class" _are_ those republican politician/actors who go out and get elected. And "it's for your own good" sounds an awful lot like GOP justifications for the Patriot Acts, the Department of Homeland Security and the Total Information Awareness office.

rehmwa 2 #28 October 2, 2003 QuoteNot sure what you're trying to say there I was referring to social programs and the like and redistribution of wealth and liberals wanting to make all the decisions for the poor and downtrodden, but ok, that's another spin on it. This is too painful, semantics games suck and are petty. I'm outta here. ...

EricaH 0 #29 October 3, 2003 As I said in the other thread w/ this quasi Robin Williams quote... I LOVE the idea - know it won't happen, but love it. On Jay Leno the other night he & George Clooney were talking bout how Hollywood was mostly full of liberals Democrats, but CA politics are full of Republicans. And the oddness there. I'd just like to add to Rehmwa & BillVon's discussion. I think closet aristocrats means someone that's very rich, thinks they're better than others & want to keep their money to themselves. However to the public, the present the face of "im a regular guy, i think welfare should be give to all, help me help you: kinda thing. Therefore they keep their true selfish nature in the closet. Also, I believe most of Hollywood is this type of people & therefore they vote Republican. They know that branch will help them keep their money. and the ostrasized Republican actors are willing to take the fall in popular opinion of actors & so are put into a place where their true ambition lays. Only a few actors/actresses can "rule the world" through their looks, some actually have to get there through words & actions. I don't know anything bout the general CA population that make up the masses & so don't know how/why they vote the way they do. Perhaps they're sick of the slimy liberal hollywood types & vote opposite. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.
