America, an Elite Aristocracy

from #AncientTexan · host #AncientTexan

We are told we live in a meritocracy where anyone that works hard can be somebody.   Please see the new book by Michael Sandel, The Tyranny of Merit, if you think America lives up to that ideology.   His Ted Talk on the same subject left me feeling a little angry and I ask your forgiveness in advance for taking it out on my audience.   Namaste,   the #AncientTexan
