I find it remarkable how hard our country is trying to homogenize us all. Any variation in personality or functionality? Medicate it. Call it a "disability". Do anything but appreciate it.

I've noted, many times, that it has been the people in our history that were different that also made a differENCE. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Einstein - just three examples of people we consider to be great contributors to humanity that in their time were complete misfits. These are people we'd likely try to medicate now. It makes me wonder if they would have made any kind of contribution at all on Stratera or Aderral or Prozac?

97% of all entrepreneurs have a personality type that only 3% of us possess. Most entrepreneurs are considered unemployable by corporations, who were started by people otherwise considered "unemployable"... I personally think the answer to the common entrepreneurial lack of organization is an obsessive compulsive executive assistant. See, there's a place for us all in this world.

*sigh*

You get my drift? No?

I'd love to see our society embrace differences in a genuine way, instead of just giving "lip service" to it all.
