peristaltorSaw a private school bus today, one that sported an acorn emblem. I wondered immediately if the symbolism was caught in any way by the extremely wealthy folks who send their sprogs there. After all, Bill Gates lives in that neighborhood.
Yes, yes, Private School, acorns grow to mighty oaks. Duh. When the seeds/spawn drop from the most privileged society has to offer, though, what the fuck else would they become? Just about all of these little acorns will brag later that they hit homes runs in life (taking care not to mention the being born on third base detail).
By contrast, consider the hayseed. It will grow up in likely crowded conditions, only to be later mowed down, chewed up again and again, and in the end its like will be bullshit.
