All I can say is that is amazing what the levels of social status that develop among communities with a bit of history and no significant or inspring real life tasks.
Some of these people have to put a down payment on a new life. Because if they have the time and energy to spend worrying about the subtle nuances of social etiquette, then they have entirely to much time on their hands!
The only altar of aristocracy that is justifiable of reverance is that of individual talent married to real life achievement.
But what do I know . . . I am just entirely to self-centered to categorize groups as cool or not cool based upon archaic social criteria or stereotypes.
It takes too much energy and detracts from quality me time. You actually have to individually impinge upon my awareness for me to like or dislike you. And chances are if you weren't a nice person I wouldn't pay enough attention to you to dislike you . . .
Again it takes to much energy.
But I'm just hopelessly self absorbed
