a different spin on things
In reference to this post, I am secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) annoyed and judgmental towards people who:
--don't like camping because of the dirt, or the fact that they might have to pee in the woods.
--don't recycle anything.
--add to the pollution and destruction of our world and are frivolous with resources.
--don't stop for pedestrians.
--are afraid to be in public without makeup on or having their hair all pretty.
--never take risks or even attempt to make their dreams come true.
--act as if they have God and Christianity all figured out.

One of the best public speakers I have ever heard is a woman named Margaret Somerville. She is a cross-appointed Biology and Ethics professor at McGill University. Your mention of frustration with people who don't like dirt reminded me of one of her recurring themes: she decries humans losing touch with nature, I paraphrase, the pinnacle of creation losing touch with the rest. If you stumble across her, she's well worth the read.
