And the threatened to sue them for suffering, but when they went to take it to court they were naturally laughed at and given to understand that they had not yet BEGUN to suffer. That’s when the paper printed his name, and people started pointing at him in the street.

Oh god, we’ve got so MANY stupid criminals. I should tell you about Flamingo Man one day.

It’s a fine institution, and many of my best friends have been institutionalized there.

There was a great article awhile back, I think in the Guardian, about why everybody thinks they’re special. And their parents think they’re even more special. In the Seventies and Eighties, you just wanted to hear your kid was normal, because the alternative meant they’d be running off to join the Manson Family or something. Now, people want to hear that their kids are abnormal. The UK set a mandate that 20% of elementary students would be promoted to classes for the gifted…but the teachers are having a problem finding that many gifted students. There simply aren’t that many, but they are finding that people are demanding that little Damian or Charlotte be in those classes. Then, when their classmates make them feel dumb in comparison, they’re threatening to sue.
