[kj] CRASS commercialism!

[The Exorcist]

Doesn't using the term "mere peasants" automatically put that in to a 
different category?
I find that to be quite Elitist. HMMF!

In the words of an angry Hillary supporter.
"I am not a second class citizen!" :)

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is 
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the 
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
