And old saying with me, at this point:

  "Human beings are more alike                   The other half being:
   than they are different--"
                                                 "-- but that doesn't make
   The difference between me and the             the ways in which they're
   "failed" human beings-- the ones              different any less important."
   who I often feel contempt for--
   is clearly not a huge gulf:

   As with most rancorous wars,
   the similarities between the
   sides is often striking.

Everything I see in the other side,         Or "the other sides?"
I can see traces of on my own.
                                            I originally wrote this with
    Out of control,                         the lowest of the low in mind
                                            (for whom I sometimes use the
    Out of touch with                       not-terribly-sensitive term,
    the practicalities           LESS       "scumzoids"), but you can make
    of existance.                           a similar list, albeit with
                                            different failings, of the 1%,      SCUMZOIDS
    Procrastination.                        the masters of the universe,
                                            but jack of no trade.
    Inefficiency
    bordering on                               Krugman has started calling
    incompetence.                              them the "self-important"
                                               rather than the important.
Their weaknesses have
elements about them of                             The rich are different
my own weaknesses.                                 from you and I, they're
                                                   even more delusional.
There but for the grace?
But for luck?

 For the determination to be different,
 The unwillingness to give up.
