14. part of my beef is the crass materialist definition of "it"
but of course you know that anybody who does not make it just did not try hard enough. How hard do you have to try? Hard enough to make it, of course. You can also make water run uphill if you pray hard enough.
I still like one of my metaphors. Suppose I am a slave in Mississippi in 1860. I say that the slave system sucks. Someone says back - look at all of the slaves who took the underground railroad to Northern States or Canada. They prove that anyone can make it in this system, so the system is not the problem - you are.
You might say that the slave has escaped the system, but I would say similarly that those at the top today have escaped the wage-slave system.
