2. Well I'm more proletariat than bourgeoise. But I'm not really a working class slave.

At least not yet.

9. According to Flaubert

"The whole dream of democracy is to raise the proletariat to the level of stupidity attained by the bourgeoisie."

According to Clive James, whose "Cultural Amnesia" I'm currently reading, despite his own bourgeois origins Flaubert regarded the bourgeoisie as the enemy of art, and "went to great lengths to keep his art uncorrupted by the allegedly sentimental expectations of the bourgeoisie."

The only Flaubert I've read is "Madame Bovary". It seemed to me a tale dripping with melodrama, but told with clinical detachment.

11. At one time I owned $6800.00 studio loudspeakers and had zero furniture

excepting one rolling office chair. Mattress on the floor, etc. So, some sort of combination?
