Brother Geno,

As you apply pointed out, these categories "they" try to put us in leave a bunch of us out. Luckily. But that is the essence of America... no?
I think W juniper is trying to make a larger point. The point being, they are succeeding in corralling most into categories and using that to control the people.
"They" hate independent thought and actions... they hate free people exercising freedom and firearms represent freedom, and also make it harder for them to take that freedom from us.
This forum is comprised of many of what I would call "glorious bastards" and that is a good thing...... smile
So your choices in life put you in a category of your own!
And Beav is at Safeway looking for Bourgeois sauce..... he too is a glorious bastard.... see how that works?
Anyhow me thinks you fella's are being a little hard on W juniper.... or maybe not, time will tell... wink


Good,

Leave me the F out. I'm uncategorical anyway. Or some such.

It would seem WJ has read or taken classes in this stuff, because the terminology is rather arcane to those of us in the proletariat (and perhaps the petit bourgeoisie)

A little search for the term "high-prole" brought me to a few sites like these. (Seemingly sociologist related. The OTHER side of the campus from where us real scientists studied. You know, over there with the Liberal Arts folks shocked )

See, even an old fugger like me can learn something new, with stimulus from such a made up term as "high-prole".

The Miessler guy is maybe Western Juniper?

I don't seem to fit in with any of the classes he lists, which is part of a classification in itself, because it seems one of the classes likes to deny class.

All I know is, I'm sure glad I studied biological sciences and not sociology.

Keep your eye out for Brother Beav. I worry about him trying to find new sauces. He should stick with the sauces he grew up with. He's in that class you know.
