Sean Connery is still the best Bond, Diana Rigg is still the best Bond girl, and "Live and Let Die" still has the best Bond opening song. That said, "Casino Royale" is thoroughly enjoyable and even has a plot despite the mushy bits.

Question of the day.

When people say things really ought to be a certain way, at what point is it love for the human condition, and at what point is it arrogance?

Example 1: You have zero ability to tolerate alcohol. Your pal, who can tolerate alcohol, is having a wonderful (by all objective measures) glass of wine and insists you take a few sips. Either your pal is enjoying the experience and wants to share it with you so that you can experience what they're experiencing, or your pal is a wine snob and wants you to agree with him/her. Even though you'd probably get sick doing so.

Example 2: You are Hindu. Your pal, who is not Hindu, is enjoying a fantastic hamburger and wants you to have a bite. Same choices as #1, except for the wine snob part--this pal eats a lot of hamburgers. Even though it would violate all your principles to do so.

Example 3: You are from a non-democratic country. Your pal, who is from a democratic country, thinks your country really needs to be more democratic. You think your country really needs better infrastructure more than democracy at the moment. Either your pal loves his/her country so much he/she would like you to exactly have the same experience, or he/she is arrogant and thinks democracy is the only way the world should be run. Disregarding the fact that you're really proud of your own country.

Which is it?
