19. There seems to me a fair amount of words in the dictionary to describe those people

that wouldn't tarnish a virtuous word, ie; arrogant, out of touch, deluded, selfish, condescending, snobbish.

No, I believe the growing sciences of mass psychology, sociology and marketing/advertising combined with one way mass communication ie; television/radio has given double meaning to many uses of the English Language. They know exactly which bell to ring to make any Pavlov's dog slobber at the mouth and I don't believe anyone is totally immune.
