[quote=Anonymous]I recently skimmed the Paul Fussell book. 'Skimmed' because I have a toddler and work full time. I was raised 'High Prole,' according to his scheme, which is a LMC strata. Granted, Class was written 30 years ago, and high prole is now the entire tech industry, having come into its own. The part that amused me most was where Fussell observed that high proles are really into ideas whereas the true upper class hate ideas because they can only mean trouble. It was all ideas all the time at our house, strange foods, museum memberships, hippy summer camps, foreign films, science fairs, friend that couldn't really speak English because parents were on postdocs from abroad, and early adopting all tech stuff. As children we regularly attended lecture series, the symphony and various avant garde dance troupes. Education was highly valued and you were expected to be superior, which we were because, hey - high prole. Nonetheless we are definitely prole. [/quote]
