Perhaps I'm missing the subtle distinction.

Is there such a thing as an empowered, educated underclass?
Wouldn't that, by definition, take them out of the underclass?



edit: wait a second. I missed alansmithee's post. Are we talking about a 'purge' of sorts; get rid of the weak? Like in Star Trek, where people are herded into 'disintegration machines' to keep warfare neat, tidy & bloodless? I guess in that case, Ustwo would be correct.
