Just not solely about it.<br /><br />There are exceptions to almost any general concept, but those exceptions do not disqualify the principle of making general concepts. Sheesh. I got 2 brothers who are technically outside the norm on this, and we get along fine.<br /><br />People who "take insult" because they are outside the norm need to have a little more self-esteem. ANd those within the norm need to open their minds a little, and not subject those "outside the norm" -- on matters of little or no sociological negative impact -- to ridicule, solely on the basis of being non-normative.<br /><br />Otherwise, we end up developing a nation so sensitive to being outside norms that we have to redefine the bounds of every general concept to the point of uselessness.Wry Mouthhttp://wrymouth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267597063062817567.post-67757948015882163492010-07-14T14:21:02.787-05:002010-07-14T14:21:02.787-05:00Lawrence, Kansas - representing rational thought. ...Lawrence, Kansas - representing rational thought.
