In the UK, these are no longer referred to as "primitive socialists"; they (and their lazy buddies) are called names like the Duke of X, Lord Y and Prince Z. The ones who did the hunting, farming etc. are known as "peasants" or "commoners". ----------------------------------------------------------------- John English | mailto:je@brighton.ac.uk Senior Lecturer | http://www.comp.it.bton.ac.uk/je Dept. of Computing | ** NON-PROFIT CD FOR CS STUDENTS ** University of Brighton | -- see http://burks.bton.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------
