Too Rich Not To Complain

The NYTimes continues it's rant on wealth and class in America. Some choice quotes from old school crusties vs. new school flashies in Nantucket:

Old Nantucket Warily Meets the New - New York Times: "'What has happened in America is that achievement is so important that everyone wants everyone else to know what they have done,' she continued. 'And in case you don't know, they want to tell you with a lethal combination of houses, cars and diamonds . . . Class has a certain grace," Ms. Briard said. "Just because you can go to Chanel and buy a dress does not mean you have class. A person who just pays their bills on time can have class.'"
+Chanel.
+Murray's Toggery Shop, home of Nantucket Reds.
+Linaer Air, scheduled charters between Teterboro - Nantucket / MV.
