This intolerance is just their ignorance all dressed up with a silly bow on it. I worked really closely with a girl all summer once. Our boss had a son who was bipolar and told me some pretty awful things he had done and how awful bipolar people were. Had to cover my mouth in mock surprise so she would not see my true expression. There was also a man looking for help because he thought his wife was bipolar. Because of this he had to lock himself in his own room. Now there is a warm cozy feeling. Hey, I want a partner like that! Grins
