There are Freepers who get their undies in a knot whenever anyone suggests that accomplishment, wealth, great learning, or any such thing is caused by anything other than good old Protestant hard work, reciting the Pledge every morning, sitting still in your desk, and doing what the government school teacher says. Anybody who does things in a way that’s at all eccentric must be a hippie.

Good point. If PC convention had been adhered to, FR wouldn't even be here.

That’s not what we’re objecting to. What we object to is the ridiculous idea that anyone with an exceptional talent has something “wrong” with them.
