That's a good description of priviledge. It's also one of the only descriptions of priviledge I've read that didn't make me wince, because it's about the only time I've seen priviledge discussed where there wasn't an explicit or implicit accusation that the person driving on the smooth road is necessarily a bad or evil person.

Ooooh, good point on the not-evilness thing!

The link title reminded me of Jim Hightower's infamous quote about George W. Bush, "He was born on third base and decided that he'd hit a triple."

Thank you for the link.
