6. I refuse to become mediocre for Carville.
He had the nerve to say that to college kids.

Oh, and read this about a Mediocracy...

http://www.waysys.com/ws_content_bl_ppm.html

"A “mediocracy” is an organization in which the mediocre prevails. Most people in a mediocracy are mediocre in both mind and soul, and most products of a mediocracy lack merit. Although a few individuals in a mediocracy may strive to rise above the second rate, their attempts are likely to be doomed by the prevailing ethos of their surroundings."

Or read this:

"Mediocrity + democracy=Mediocracy

Mediocracy is the mockery of democracy; it is the willing or unwilling mass-acceptance of a mediocre form of democracy. It is the deliberate and unprincipled exploitation of the weakness and ignorance of “the many” to benefit the unapologetic, greedy, bizarrely proud few.

“Mediocrats” were highly visible when we learned that ENRON executives, who were engulfed in money, were making jokes over the phone about how enjoyable it was to take Californian energy users for a ride during the energy crisis.

Mediocracy was obvious when the NAFTA Trade Agreement proved to be hurtful to the American economy with its trillion-dollar deficit and the loss of many jobs to outsourcing. Having not learned the lesson, now the creation of CAFTA (Central America Trade Agreement) will continue to erode middle Americans’ jobs, create more low-wage slavery in foreign country, and make the trade deficit bigger. If you doubt that this is mediocracy, think about SAFTA (South American Free Trade Agreement), It’s in the pipeline! "

That word sends my school teacher/English minor mind wandering all over.
