Snobbism

Okay then, I guess I'm a snob.
Issue 1. I believe what I believe and I believe it is far better and more correct than the alternatives.
         Rationale Factor: If I didn't, why would I believe it?

Issue 2. I think sustained affluence CAN be a legitimate gauge of how much intelligence, commitment, labor, and endurance a person has. 
         R-factor:  It's not always true, poor people are often intelligent committed hard working stick-with-it people.  Idiots sometimes inherit fortunes.  But without these things, affluence is never long lived.  With them we can generally rise back up from the weirdities of life.  My grandfather was destroyed 3 times.  He made a comfortable fortune 4 times.

Issue 3. I think my moral code follows the same pattern as issue 1.
         R-Factor:  If I believe something is wrong and I do it, I can change my mind and say it's not wrong or I can ask forgiveness of my God and those I offended.  Seems if I really believe it's wrong, why would I change my mind just because it's hard to stop doing that thing.  Inside, I just accept being defiled as the norm.  Which leads me back to grace anyway eventually.

Issue 4. I like my coffee full flavored without bitterness and without grounds.
         R-Factor: Cooking coffee longer doesn't make up for stale or cheaply processed beans.  The fact that I know the difference between coffee types and tastes may be silly to you, but only if you've never tasted really good coffee.  Bad coffee is bad coffee.  That's why we say it's bad.  It doesn't belong in my mouth.

Issue 5.  Art is intelligent, creative and interactive.  No matter what kind of craft you possess, it's art or it's not.  Art speaks to the internal person.
         R-Factor: The fact that you don't understand it doesn't make it bad art.  The fact that someone famous or someone unknown did it, or that the public likes or dislikes it is not a deciding factor.  I have 10 fingers: I have a keyboard, that doesn't make me a musician or a writer.  Not having sold CDs or Books does not make me not a musician or a writer.  The degree that the painting, music or story connects with the heart and mind of another person, that's what determines the artistry.  After that it is yours to refine and market as you will.  But the art must exist before the dollar or it's a hoax.

Issue 6.  Laundry, though a personal taste, is complete when the clothes are clean, dry and folded.  Life is not too short to fold underwear.  Life is too short not to fold underwear.
         R-Factor: If you wait 3 weeks to fold your laundry and put it away, it will take you a long time to get done.  If you wait 2 weeks to wash it, it may not get clean.  Otherwise what's the point?  Why do it?  My thinking: it provides clean, nice smelling, unwrinkled garments to wear when you need them.   For that, it needs to be washed promptly, dried promptly and put away folded.

Issue 7.  Whether you're a house snob or not depends on whether you will let people in. 
         R-Factor:  Let's face it, life happens sometimes and that's generally when the "cleaning police" come to call.  They enter with the announcement "I came to see you not your house" and then their eyes go crazy.  The only ones who rave about how dirty their houses are are the ones whose houses aren't.  The rest of us figure if you haven't seen it, we shouldn't bring it to your attention.

My least favorite catch words: 
loser (you don't have proper appreciation for me or value to me),
outdated (the stuff you have hasn't kept up with the latest fad which will expire 2.4 days after you get it),
hater (you have some kind of moral and ethical stand which disregards my favorite vice)

I've decided we're all snobs about something.  Some of the coolest people I know are snobs.  You know, some of our subcultures use 'friend _____' as a greeting.  It helps them see all men as equals and beneficial.  Maybe we should use the word 'snob' instead for a time just to get the idea.  "Hello, snob Woodall,"  "Good day, snob Donna"  We could love it until it was overused and outdated.  Then I would decide you were a loser and I'd be seen as a hater - again.
