elitism
British MP won't travel second class because "there's a different type of person there"
Can't access an original article on this from work, but I did find that quote.
Frankly, I feel the same way. People on public transportation act like filthy animals. They bring their loud, filthy children on the train and don't supervise them. They get drunk on the train and spill alcohol and urinate in places other than the toilet. Trashy people upset me. I try to avoid rubbing elbows with them.
I wish there were a place for elitism in public political discourse in the United States. People here should say things like this more often.
I was having dinner with my parents at a restaurant yesterday afternoon, and across the restaurant there was a family with a young child who was shrieking. It shrieked throughout my whole meal. The family thought it was great fun. I kept giving them dirty looks.
My mother said, "You were always so well behaved when we took you out to restaurants." I said, "That's because we were a different class of family from these people."
Not that I have so much family pride, but you know, it's true. Why not bring a band saw to the restaurant, plug it in, turn it on, and leave it running for the duration of the meal? It would show about as much consideration as bringing your unruly brat spawn to a public place and using it to ruin real people's meals.
Someone should pass a law.
