Horsefoolery.

If I was rich I would invest in an exceptionally tall horse that I'd mount for the express purpose of shouting forth any self-righteous moral standpoints I might have. Note on my less opinionated days I would ensure the animal was well looked after, probably by 'horsey types'.

For the most dogmatic of occasions, I'd also purchase a hillside plot where I'd go to get on my high horse. The land would be known locally as 'the moral highground' and I would remain there until my point was made.

Is it a terrible double standard that I find aggressive localism perfectly acceptable — even kinda cool — at skateparks, BMX trails, waves and gang spots, but utterly abhorrent anywhere else in life?
