Prince vs. Blank Slate

Article here about a Prince Charles memo. Of course the story casts it as being a scurrilous piece of elitism, but here is the "key quote:"


People think they can all be pop stars, high court judges, brilliant TV personalities or infinitely more competent heads of state without ever putting in the necessary work or having natural ability. This is the result of social utopianism which believes humanity can be genetically and socially engineered to contradict the lessons of history.

As Christmas is coming up, think I'll be able to buy a inspirational poster of this anytime soon?
