Just so people know I will not respond to immature comments. It is merely bait by people who did not grow up. In fact I could easily report it.

Playwright has a history of accusing everyone who disagrees with him of having deficient brains. He's the definition of the pretentious, elitist latte liberal, he even has a god-damned trust fund.
It's not name-calling, Odin, it's science.
When someone says the sky is blue, you can be infantile and call that name-calling but it is scientifically provable, it is descriptive.
We've been down this rabbit hole together before; I can see you haven't done your homework... again. There are numerous behavioral science papers on the fundamental differences between those with more conservative views and those with more liberal. More frightening, there are neurological studies linking those behavioral differences to both brain structure and processesing differences primarily associated with the relative dominance of the amgydala - the more primative area of the brain associated with the flight-or-response.
This time, I'm not going to do the work for you, it just leads to you going off and pouting. There's this thing called "Google" - try it.
I've have had stints in teaching, both kids and adults. One gets the usual laziness and forgetfulness of some studients - it's human nature. The really frustrating ones however, are those with obvious intelligence and just as obvious intellectual laziness.
I can understand your jealousy of my postion in life. I have the resources enough that I spent thousands of dollars this election trying to get good people elected. But it's more than money, I also personally phone-banked Florida voters for 60 total logged hours and traveled at my expense to do a couple days of GOTV in Prince William Co. Virginia - even at my age, I'm pretty sure I can out-hike 80-90% of the people on this forum.
Yes, I am part of an ancient extended family with members that are far far more wealthier than me. Other than growing up in my parents house, I haven't taken a dime from that extended family wealth. I earned my weaith. But, I also know I got lucky - in my business that's pretty much understood eventually by even the most egotistical or they die long before their time. I've been lucky in life, but I'm pretty damn sure I've also had worse horrors in my life than you and probable most on this forum. So yea, I got the werewithall to live the elitist life but I don't flaunt it except perhaps in the performing arts, my industry, to keep that funded and alive. What have you done?
As to the "trust," after this election, most people should know the big difference between good ones (Clinton Foundation) and badl ones (Trump Foundation). The one that I'm a board member, without a chance of ever personally profiting from, is not only a good one, but predates the ones you hear about by decades. I'm pretty damn sure you would applaud every dollar that my "trust" has spent, at least since I've been a voting board member. Do you really want to deride me for that?
We can all claim to be Progressive, but I'm actually one that has put extensive amount of money, time and career expertise over decades to actually make things happen. You really think you're in my league to deride me? What have your done?
