    "Genetic chauvinism"
    More "You didn't build that" nonsense, where lazy, underachieving liberals insist that success depends on nothing more then an accident of birth.

    I like the saying that success is all a matter of luck, and the harder I work, the luckier I get

    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

It didn't go too deep into it (it was just an off-hand mention in a larger story) but I did think it was interesting.
      I'm sorry, this was supposed to be a science fiction story I read. Darn it, didn't notice the goof until just now, well after the time I could've edited it.
