David, Yes, the arrogance of Ivory Tower leftists has its phony, self-inflating aspects, but we all do it to some extent. I believe Anna Freud's defense mechanisms are a brilliant example. In addition, because the universities are so far left, and because "being above all that" feels so affirming, and contrary opinions are minimal, it goes on.
