I'm irrational, not snobby

So it occurred to me while re-reading my last post that I may have come across something like...
"Nobody in America is concerned with health and humanity issues! Except me! And I'm smarter than you and more concerned with the world, you idiots!"
But when I said "I'm more of a freak about it than most" I meant to put the most emphasis on "freak".
Here is a very slightly exaggerated example of what I mean.
Me presenting my water delivery service findings to my budgeting analysis coworker:
"Well, we could get that corporately regulated regular water crap delivered for 44$ per month. OR, we could get this super awesome spectrum cooler that utilizes moisture in the air to turn it into water, while using UV light and all kinds of other things to purify while maintaining some sort of mineral something or another blah blah blah!"
"Well, why would we do that? What's wrong with regular delivery?" says coworker.
"oh my gosh, EVERYTHING! The universe is all wrong! Think of all the bacteria growing in the cooler month after month causing little children to die! The water man doesn't care if it gets cleaned out! They probably just dump bleach in there once a year, poisoning us all! Think of what the plastic bottles are made of! They're made of pure corporate lust and greed! All those chemicals used in the production process, using up precious materials, using unsafe plastics that emit gases into our ozone! Holy hell, don't you understand!? Were all gonna die unless we get the other cooler! Think of the e. coli just waiting to grab you by the throat the next time you reach for that cool cup of death! Baby killer!"
"uhhhhh, but the spectrum cooler is $1 million dollars per month. Regular is $44. And, I'm pretty sure they'll clean out the cooler once in a while if we asked them." says logic minded coworker.
"Well, you might as well just drop the next A-bomb! You and your cheap death water and corporate morals can go back to Walmart where you came from!"
