I recently predicted that Germany's decades of inexplicable self-inflicted martyrdom will soon be approaching their end, as more Germans will buy air-conditioning units to use on the very hottest days, as I recently did.
Change comes more easily when a member of the elite takes the first step. Enter the 98th question posted to Hans Magnus Enzensberger by Moritz von Uslar in the August 8, 2010 edition of Zeit Magazine:
98. Any idea what the temperature it is in your study?
[Enzensberger] reaches for a white piece of plastic which lay on the table before him and looks at the LCD display. The plastic is labeled "Mitsubishi Electric". It's the remote control for his air-conditioner.
21 degrees.
I thought liberals espoused a classless society, but in fact they are the ones that believe in "elites"....the conservatives actually do believe in a classless society and in capitalism. It was their work (conservatives) that provided the inexpensive energy and efficient machines that makes air conditioning affordable to everyone: regular people AND the so called "elites."
