[kj] When Goths Cry...

[Brendan Quinn]

My old man mentioned a year or so ago that I was middle class and I was like
"WTF?!" didn't know how to take it...had never really considered the whole
issue before. I dunno if Aussies / Kiwis take more or a UK or US stance on
class...Geoff / Bongo? I think it's a bit less important down here, but I
may be wrong. 

We don't have ANY class in NZ mate!

There was some weird statistic that came out a couple of years ago that 
said something like 60% of Americans thought they were in the Top 20% of 
income earners or something. Americans generally have a really distorted 
view of class - it's not supposed to exist here, except/unless it is the 
middle class, whih is supposed to be omnipresent.
