Ich bin ein Elitist

Kennedy had his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech now I have my "Ich bin ein Elitist" speech.

So I don't really think of myself as elitist but in an earlier post I showed that perhaps I could be seen as an elitist by, ahem, some who, erm...how to put this nicely...have lost their bloody minds! Oh that came out better than I expected.Anyway here goes...

What is elitism? Why should I care about it? (i don't but still makes for a good intro, no?) To reach where I am now I have fought and struggled (and studied intensely...well not intensely but you get the picture) my way to the top. I have had my fears but I have overcome them (except my fears of bees, ghosts, monsters, the dark,really tall men...). I stand (or blog) before you today as proof of success (or of boredom, take your pick) and of resilience (again could be boredom). My determination has seen me through to my current position and now I can proudly say, I am an elitist. I am conscious of my place in an elite circle, those who have gone to an Ivy League university (and survived the first week), as well as my pride in belonging to this group. Ich bin ein elitist (hmmm I should check my German dictionary for the word elitist) and I am proud of it. I believe in the rule of a select group of people and those are the smart people. The dumb shall remain the dumb therefore it is in the best interest of the world for the smart people to stay as the ruling class...

I will add to this speech later on but for now that's my first draft. Tell me what you think. It isn't perfect but is any admission ever perfect? This may satisfy some so I am comfortable with that.

Disclaimer: the author is not in fact making any claims to belong to any particular group. The preceding speech was a follow-up to the post Am I Elitist? and is therefore a statement not based entirely based on the truth. Furthermore the author would like to make it clear that no form of disrespect was intended to the memory or family of the late President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and in fact has profound respect for him and his work. Though the preceding speech was modeled after his speech it was not intended to make fun of the original speech itself
