About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

A: Pop musicians
B: Classical composers
I’d go with that one, except for quite a few classical composers were very, very wealthy in their day. I’m sure some did live rather sparse lives, but of all the ones for whom I have some knowledge about their personal life, all the well-known classical composers lived pretty posh lives.
January 2nd, 2009 at 3:06 pm
hey, not really submitting, but I think Ghandi rather lacked class. He refused penicillin for his wife and left her to die painfully (then twice accepted western medicine save his own life, appendectomy and I forget), participated as a mercenary in 2 foreign wars (non-violent?), and in his dotage always kept a bunch of young naked women in his bed while shunning his wife.
I think he just had good p.r. not class.

Well, someone who was rich enough (and classless enough) to be at point A, but had a change of heart and gave away all that money… would be pretty classy in my book. So I’d say it’s very possible.

Once again, being too specific results in being rather anile (anybody want to graph this?).
Notice the period? It is obviously a class selector for the Hindu caste system. (CSS = Caste System Selector). I’ll bet the standard is now that today’s street vendors are much wealthier than the Brahmin in a business suit standing next to him.
