Getting small

From Yahoo News/Associated Press:
BP comment about 'small people' causes anger
The BP chairman's comment that the oil giant cares about "the small people" received an icy reception on Wednesday from residents along the Gulf Coast.

BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told reporters in Washington: "I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care, but that is not the case with BP. We care about the small people."

Justin Taffinder of New Orleans was not amused.

"We're not small people. We're human beings. They're no greater than us. We don't bow down to them. We don't pray to them," Taffinder said.
These morons, the elite, really think that they are better then us and treat us like animals in a farm to be lovingly cared for because we do not know how to care for ourselves. They should get out of our way and let us live our lives with as minimal interference as possible... Posted by DaveH at June 16, 2010 9:00 PM

For what it's worth, this is a Swenglish translation problem. I spent 18 years working with Swedes. That's how they speak English. There's nothing elitist going on there.
