maybe a better example is parental disciplining. the intellectuals say never spank, never scold, time out at worst, put your kids on drugs when they don't behave ... , when the peasant mentality is to discipline kids including spanking and keep them off drugs.

So you can see the clear difference in values there.

Do you have anything to back this up with? I've spent a good deal of the last seven years in and around prestigious universities with lots of 'intellectuals'. I've never heard anyone say to never scold your kids, that time outs are the worst punishment you should dole out, or that drugs were the way to go.

I understand that you think this is true, but why? How many 'intellectuals' have you actually spoken to who hold this viewpoint.
