That Feeling of Superiority 6-6-06

is kind of looked down upon in America, but hey sometimes we have to stand up for what we believe in and speak the truth.  I am an elitist, and I honestly don't believe all that bullshit about no one being better than anyone else.

Personally, I love saying this in random individual or small group conversations because some people will react with complete disgust, some people will laugh it off, and some people kind of act like they met a kindred spirit and get to running off with things we dare not say in America.  Nonetheless facts are facts, they just may not be so in the way everyone is used to.  See my feeling of superiority does not have anything necessarrily to do with the fact that I went to a particular school or schools and have a particular career.  It even doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I am just so adorable (go with it), but in the end we all have things that we value and people who rank accordingly.  See for me, I hate people that are mean to waitstaff and the help.  I mean i believe in getting service but if you are the type of person who can't feel good about themselves without berating a waiter then yes I think I am better than you.  Also, there is a fact that some of us have had greater advantages growing up, and I would never tell you that hard work is the difference between homelessness and a Harvard degree, but eventually, when laziness, or some deversion was striking as it strikes us all, some of us decided to do what we had to do, and some of us gave in to the bullshit.  Is that really a question of "there but for the grace of God?"  I just don't think so.  Where people take things too far is when they believe that you can judge people merely from the outside.  I mean Bush may be President but that does not mean that he was a hard worker, and every poor person is not a victim of their own decisions.  but individually we all make decisions in our lives about what type of person we are going to choose to be, and while it may just be my value system that tells me that any success is hollow if I don't do anything to help the people of this world, that is my value system, so as long as I am striving to do right and help the world and you (generic) are not...  I believe that I am better than you...  'nuff said...
