Question: Do I really agree with Eric and Maureen Dowd: [the Repub.s] 'see the world through the prism of class, while denying that class matters.'?

I don't know. I'm more pro-equality and they're more pro-responsibility. I don't think they take enough account of the real barriers to opportunity and the massive, somewhat intangible benefits that many of us (especially those of us who are white and Protestant and male) have benefitted from. Like Eric's poem says, there's a difference if you don't have to think of your whiteness or your maleness, whereas some are always aware of their blackness or femaleness.

Maybe it's just a guilty conscience. What do you think? Where do I stand? Where do you?
