...this word, "elitism" is another of a long line of words being redefined and used to keep stupid people stupid and make sure they get even more so. This current fuss over god and religion has helped as well because so many books are out there completely shredding what was left of any validity to these Bronze-Age tribal gods and their bloody worship that reading any books at all is considered anathema....because intelligence and curiosity kills religious belief...at least the most common and backwards form of it...so books and learning are the enemy, while ignorance and a lack of curiosity are valued...these same people feel just as disdainful of history books, or anything that questions their very shaky grasp of reality...a reality they accept wholesale from some silly books they were made to fear since childhood.

Anything from a book is suspect...especially if it challenges their "beliefs"...and remember how often we've pointed out that to these people there is no difference between opinions and facts...they have their BELIEFS and you have your FACTS...and both are equally valid....so screw the books which challenge their beliefs, any beliefs.
