Yeah, but...<br />We're tired of the whole bloody lot of them, and we would gladly ship them over to you guys, Colin.<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-82242833779525290992015-12-10T19:25:23.182-05:002015-12-10T19:25:23.182-05:00Colin, I think you're on the right track vis-a...Colin, I think you're on the right track vis-a-vis Taurey thinking more in terms of the aristocracy. The modern-day elite you mention still had to live within the constraints of the law and the Constitution--whereas Taurey wanted to do away with the Constitution altogether and remove the concept of freedom from the new society.<br /><br />As for Steve Rogers' revised origin (as "retold" by Fabian Nicieza), to my knowledge there's still no reconciliation between Nicieza's newer version and Steve growing up in Manhattan's lower east side--though that's not to say his parents couldn't have emigrated to the U.S. prior to his adolescence, I suppose. The only explanation I can think of for the Steven Rogers of the Revolutionary War would be if his offspring had left the U.S. for Ireland for some reason--but that seems overly convoluted even for comics.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-19747287818141221752015-12-10T10:19:47.694-05:002015-12-10T10:19:47.694-05:00So Taurey wants to bring back the elite to America...So Taurey wants to bring back the elite to America - has he never heard of the Vanderbilts, Astors, Rockerfellers or Bushes ? They all seem like an elite to me. Perhaps he thinks elite means titles and silly wigs. And wasn't Steve Rogers re-imagined as the son of Irish immigrants from the early 20th Century which severed all his links to 1776 and the War of Independence. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
