I am screwed then. :)

Then again, my inability to talk to a Democrat without my blood pressure rising also would not help things....

I think the size issue has to do with the belief that taller people are more authoritative or tough. I guess Napolean didn't get the memo.

Over the years, I have worked with several "short" men. While most were perfectly capable or even very good at their jobs, if any criticism came their way, the "little man" syndrome would flare up.

Usually the short guys felt they had something to prove and would work harder trying to out do anyone taller than them.

They would also get you into a bar fight to if you stopped to have a beer on the way home. I had one friend that always wanted to prove himself by beating up someone much bigger than himself (he never did) but me or one of our other friends would have to rescue him to keep him from becoming a blob of raw hamburger. We stopped drinking with him too.
