I've been by the bay for going on seven years and I'm just now starting to perceive this caste-system aspect of the place. I perceived it first as something that I call "dynastic culture," which is, I think, how it shows up on a individual basis. But when you collect together in the same place a bunch of people whose consciousnesses run "dynastic culture," you end up with a caste system emerging at the more macro scale. Anyway, I suspect I would enjoy corresponding with you. If that's mutual, my email is mpdakin at Google's service. Cheers!
Hehehe, she lives 1/3 of the way around the world, and I'm not rich so that's def. not my objective. Plus how can you hit on someone you've never even seen? Personally, I don't want to go much more down the rabbit-hole of a conversation that involves "caste systems" in a public forum, but this is the sort of thing I talk about with my friends. That and I've been randomly making friends with people on the Internet since I was a little kid! (Probably explains everything about me really.) :)
That's fine, no embarrassment needed... I understand the act of the moderator but I also believe in taking the mystique out of random socialisation over the internet, which is an enlightening and innocuous pastime.
