Elitism: The Most Effective and Realistic Form of Government
Elites Rule This Country, so Let's All Get Over It!
Think of it this way: if one were to have six apples, the chance of one being rotten would be fairly slim. Now imagine if one were to have in one's possession at least a million apples. The odds of a rotten apple being in the latter group are extremely high. It's like that in reality as well. A select number of people make the decisions as opposed to the entire country. I'm not proclaiming that the elites of the world are the most intelligent or most qualified to perform such important tasks, but these people do have a lot of money, influence, and quite possibly the most resources to make the best decisions. In such a fast-paced society as the one we live in, it is difficult to constantly keep abreast of all the events that occur that would have an impact on the U.S.
One could argue that an elitist society would rub the Bill of Rights the wrong way. This is a feeble attempt at arguing the side of egalitarians everywhere, and a person that argues that point is an excellent reason why elitism is superior. Perhaps people should quit hiding behind the Bill of Rights and realize that the chance to be an elitist exists in every soul on American soil. Heaven forbid the climb to elitism contains hard work, sacrifice, and the constant yearning for knowledge! Why can't we all just have money and power fall into our laps like other elites? Unfortunately, this is not the case. The regular citizens must fight to become elites, and in the long run will realize it was worth it because even the simplest mind can attest to getting a kick out of bossing people around and making decisions that affect a large mass.

Get over it, America is great because everyone is elite.If you like elitism go to one of those countries where a minority rule the rest. Sent us a note in ten years with your apology.
this goes out to jeff, so, jeff you're right about george bush and paris hilton. i truely think some people if not most, gives too much credibility to the both of them. however, the people who created the system for their advantages are the ones who controls everything under the sun over the universe. which includes religions as well as poltics. think about it the govt. never seems to attack any of these religions, because the religions are part of them. now that's my definition of elitism.
I find it funny that you used paris hilton and george bush as examples.
Elitism is everywhere. There is no society on earth where everyone is truly equal. In the US, we have leaders. In the UK, they have leaders. In every society, there is a leader, and where there are leaders, there are upper people. Sure, the boundaries are looser or tighter, but it's there.
Elitism is the best political system. In actuality, it is the best system for many applications, especially when dealing with intellectual matters. It all boils down to differences. People are different. If one person is good at one thing and another is good at something else, they should not be made to beleive that they are both fantastic at one of those things. Some people are smarter than others, some people are richer than others, some people have more leadership ability than others, etc., etc., etc. We should value each other's differences, and therefore our elite statures within various fields, rather than forcing a homogenized "democracy" upon all.
It depends on what sect of elitism you are talking about...if you are talking about intellectual elitism than yes. A better point would have been how democracy is the lowest form of government...
wow...there are people who really believe this? The biggest problem with elitism is that there is no requirement for intelligence or leadership to be elite....just look at George Bush and Paris Hilton...can you tell me either one of these are equipped to make the best decision? Any one who would subscribe to elitism is either an "elite" or completely devoid of reasoning..
