Being truly "elite" comes with a certain sense of humility. In polite society, wealth and blueblood lineage recognizes wealth and blueblood lineage, much in the same way cultured or sophisticated individuals can sniff out those of less (or lower) birth almost immediately. The first tell-tale sign that someone is *NOT* "elite", is that they refer to themselves as such. This offends latter day gentleman's etiquette.

An analogy can be drawn between (A) people who call themselves "Elite" simply because they attend an ivy league school, and (B) the "New Rich" or "New Money", who can be easily identified by their gaudy dress, conspicuous consumption, or penchant for self-aggrandizement.

Going to HYP does *NOT*, in and of itself, make you "elite". Especially if mere *acceptance* into HYP is your life's crowning acheivement. Those who are truly "elite" are those who are 5th, 6th, and 7th Generation HYP, whose family's net worth ranges in (at least) the 7-9 figures, and/or presumably whose lineage can be traced back to the Mayflower (or at the very least, the American Revolution). An exception is often made for those gentlemen/ladies born into foreign royalty or foreign aristocracy (of which ETE is neither).

Polite society would never recognize "ETE" as a gentleman, and most certainly not as a member of the "elite" class, because he simply does not spawn from the lineage nor heritage from which the term is a derivitive.

Even if ETE were to graduate top of his class at Columbia, and become President and CEO of a multi-million Fortune 500 company, he would *still* not be "elite", for the reasons above. With (a) wise investment; (b) sound judgment; and (c) a touch of class...ETE may well be able to start his own dynasty here in the United States, of which his great-grandchildren and their kin may be able to benefit from being dubbed "elite". However, "class" is an inherent trait which cannot be purchased at any price. Sadly, ETE hasn't even a semblance of "class" about him. This remarkable deficiency in his character will forever prohibit him from entering the esteemed realm of the "elite".

I figured as much. I'm a frequent law-board poster who got bored this evening and decided to see what this board was all about.

I've cringed at almost everything ETE has posted thus far. He's not even a good poseur for the elite.

L'amour de soi, qui ne regarde qu'à nous, est content quand nos vrais besoins sont satisfaits ; mais l'amour-propre, qui se compare, n'est jamais content et ne saurait l'être, parce que ce sentiment, en nous préférant aux autres, exige aussi que les autres nous préfèrent à eux, ce qui est impossible. Voilà comment les passions douces et affectueuses naissent de l'amour de soi, et comment les passions haineuses et irascibles naissent de l'amour-propre. Ainsi, ce qui rend l'homme essentiellement bon est d'avoir peu de besoins et de peu se comparer aux autres ; ce qui le rend essentiellement méchant est d'avoir beaucoup de besoins et de tenir beaucoup à l'opinion. Sur ce principe, il est aisé de voir comment on peut diriger au bien ou au mal toutes les passions des enfants et des hommes. Il est vrai que ne pouvant vivre toujours seuls, ils vivront difficilement toujours bons : cette difficulté même augmentera nécessairement avec leurs relations, et c'est en ceci surtout que les dangers de la société nous rendent les soins plus indispensables pour prévenir dans le coeur humain la dépravation qui naît de ses nouveaux besoins.

"amour propre" is better translated as "vanity". Vanity is all well and good, provided it is manifested -- if at all -- by action, and not by word. ETE's online hubris offends this notion.

Definitions of "class" and "elite" are fluid. You used to have to be a duke, no longer.
