Open thread: Steve Price, castes, White Castles and class warfare?

At another blog, in defense of 3rd district councilman Steve Price, a veiled pundit wrote these words. I’ve omitted the parts that hector me for incessant drinking, which is something I’m far better at doing myself, rather than to rely on anonymous, cannabic nannies to do it for me.

You need to respect other classes of people who may not have the education you have, the money you have, etc. Some people do with what they have and if they are a laid back person playing music, taking care of his business, talking with taxpayers in a lower caste than you, I say more power to him. There but for the Grace of God goes a lot of us.

And so, we return to the notion of Steve Price as fearless class warrior, heroically ensuring egalitarianism through shared deprivation. Is this really the case, or is it just another label for too broke to fix?

Is Price protecting the Little People, preventing their progress, or just too oblivious to know the difference?

As he has noted in the past, am I “arrogant” for asking him to pronounce a person’s name correctly?

If you have a viewpoint, please let us know.
