Does it mean anything anymore to say someone has grace, elegance or refinement?

Asked by LostInParadise (31913points) January 13th, 2010

Does anyone care about these things? Is there anyone you can think of who exhibits these traits? Are there any actors like Jimmy Stewart or Katherine Hepburn? Will we ever again have a president with the diction of Franklin Roosevelt or John Kennedy? One might argue that Michael Jackson was a better dancer than Fred Astaire, but there is a certain elegance that Astaire had in abundance that Jackson just did not have. Has culture become more bubble up from the ghetto than trickle down? What do you think that Victorians would have thought of suburban housing and fast food restaurants? Am I the only one who thinks something is a bit off? If anything goes, does everything go?
