Effete ? Hardly. YOU should be lucky to accomplish 1% of what Edsel did in his too short life.
Effete ? Bozo.
No need to call me a name here, please. My opinion, scholarly for the most part, of Edsel Ford's coming to prominence stands (overrefined, privileged, etc.). At least he was no thug like Harry Bennett, and that can't be anything but a good thing, really. Moreover, he was a valuable philanthropist for the arts, which is a good thing. It's not like effete is an be-all, end-all, and it certainly wasn't in this circumstance.
But in the meantime, I'll be sure to reach that 1% quota by the time I hit the age of 35. Of course, without his pampered upbringing, his masculine birthright, and his access to an inheritance which empowered him to head a pre-existing major company, this might be a bit hard to do.

[But I still enjoy shooting Kodachrome, lest we digress too much from the topic.]
