The Good, The Bad, The Indifferent

I know what "good" is. "Good" is not objective.
It's also not totally subjective. "Good" is another
clever term some social scientist/philosopher (maybe
Donald Davidson of UC-Berkeley) came up with: inter-
subjective. Inter-subjectivity basically means that
while the quality and aspect of some things truly
are relative, snobs and power elites get to decide
by consensus among their ranks what is and isn't
good.

Did you know that lobster used to be poor people's
food? It's true. Fishermen and their families used
to be the only people who'd eat lobsters because
they'd pick the things out of their nets while looking
for more commercial items like grouper or something.

Do you think the first person to make crawfish etoufee
was a gourmand? Only Indians used to eat pesole,
now they couldn't afford to buy the stuff at their
local Wal-Mart gourmet foods section.
