Dick Minim, of the East Coast Minims, is all in a twitter about Sean's post at Tactical Philanthropy on the future of social capital markets. "Phil, said Dick, when I caught up with him at the Porcellian Club, "I would cut that Sean character dead. What a vulgarian. Who are his his people? Where did he prep? Has he no couth? That odious Tactical Philanthropy! I shudder at Sean's ideal, that of foundation people listening to a road show of nonprofits in some hotel ballroom, and going through those tacky pitch books with pie charts and so many numbers. That man writes, I hear, for the Financial Times; no wonder he sees the whole world through stock tables. I suggest you never link to him again. His kind are already spreading like a plague of locusts. Emergence they call it. Self organizing systems. I call it the great unwashed. Democracy never was much of a system. These new money people are undermining the very foundations of American Aristocracy!" Senator, I said, lower your voice, people are looking at us.
