The anti-Starbucks crowd I know tend to be the more radical lefties, actually. Because Starbucks is a corporate symbol that's frickin EVERYWHERE.
I have one thought on the use of lattes as symbols of "elitism". They do run $2-5 depending what exact drink youg et, so I guess the logic is if you have the money to blow on $5 coffee, you must be elite? Or maybe it's just because it's not soda or beer, and that oughta be good enough for anybody!
