[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2997600, member: 13624"] "It does seem that at this point coping is unfashionable. A man who can cope is an elitist, which is a very dreadful thing to be. If you can cope, you are better than other people, and those other people tend to hate you for it. Consider the use of the English language. If you use it well you will be held up to scorn and ridiculed by a majority − especially in England, of all places. The English language is a marvelous instrument, and no one ever really masters it, but it is nonetheless great fun to try. If people hiss at you for trying, let them hiss. They are the losers." Col. Jeff Cooper, [I]Cooper's Commentaries[/I], Vol. 10, No. 7 In my experience, Col. Cooper hits the nail squarely on the head. People who deride "elitism" tend to be some combination of jealous of others' intellect and skill, or insecure in their own. [/QUOTE]
