I'm not sure if I should be shocked or angry at what I'm having trouble Not calling an elitist attitude. I keep seeing the assertion that most of the products made since the industrial revolution are worthless and I'm too dumb to see it or that I am not qualified to discern what quality is. Nor am I able to appreciate quality as I've surrounded myself with worthless child labor knockoffs in my ignorance. The shoe example is outrageous in that, of all the people I know, only a very few attorneys come close to that price foe shoes. For the great majority of people that's not even in the realm of reasonableness. Its a wasteful extravagance. Then to nearly berate someone because their priorities preclude such an expense and slag them off for it is beyond the pale.

"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress, -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
