Europeans have a stronger sense of social stratification and inherited
entitlement, so only the nobles are expected or permitted privileges
such as flying their own aircraft.


He's technically right for parts of Europe.
The Vatican is an absolute monarchy.


Bwahawahw!

And they say you guys don't have a sense of humour

I'd better give up my PPL then. I obviously won't fit in.

Definitely not. And no 'noble' blood anywhere in my family tree so far as I
can tell.

Oh well.

Better start looking for that whippet.

Here's a minor insight into mx's comment. Since he is not of 'noble'
blood, the stratifcation he mentions is a reason why he is condemned
to spending his time alone playing computer games while others are
actually living a real life in Paris.

I have several clients who use similiar excuses to explain how it is
they, who are intelligent, have managed to live a less fulfilling life
than their inferiors.

If those clients can be helped to see a different reality, they are on
their way to a healthier mental existance.

Some horses can be shown a fresh water spring, but won't willingly
drink from it.

You know, if someone could rephase that last line, , it might become a
common saying. Bertie, would "Mx is an idiot" be a suitable rephasing?

Pretty much sums it up.
