The Soccer Moms have done their best to drag excellence down to the level playing field of mediocrity ONLY because they can't do the opposite. I grew up reading Ayn Rand and watching Eric Hoffer intellectually sparing with William F. Buckley, so this kind of hovno (however it is spelled, said with long o's) is becoming pretty tedious to me.
