If you are not normal, then I am very happy to make your acquaintance!!

The "normal" people I work with, almost the entire lot of them, are a bunch of ego-centric, loud mouthed, boring, slobs.

You don't want to be one them.

Someday I am going to write a dissertation developing the idea of "mad lib" as the topic of personal liberation that parallels women's lib, or gay lib. I am convinced that much of the pain and suffering associated with mental "illness" is our misguided need, personally and collectively, to supress our differences and conform to the norm.

The concept of social diversity needs to expand to contain the many personalities just as it has the many colors and cultures. That is a lot harder to quanitify for the corporate bean counters, but just as important for us with our sometimes difficult ways of being.
