You know what, that's actually a fair criticism, especially since most of the people who oppose this aren't actually the ones who talk like that: it's the middle class who fight every mechanism of social improvement here lest they no longer have the social ladder to climb which seems to be the only activity that makes any of them feel alive.

That and abusing restaurant staff.

Anyway, good point. Cheers.

Please cut out swipes and fulmination like this in comments. It's clearly against the guidelines, and we've asked you before to avoid using HN for ideological battle.
