"Everyone likes to feel superior. . . ." Really? Isn't that a rather broad generalization? I've met people like that, but I tend to find that people who like to feel that things are (and should be) equitable are generally a lot more pleasant to be around.

I've also noticed (sound psychology, in fact) that people tend to endow others with their own predilictions.

I hate to say it, but it looks like you're feeling superior again, Little Hawk. . . .
