I mean, you either have the courage of your convictions or you don't, you know?

Nothing at all bigoted about <em>that</em> comparison. There's almost no point in doing a cartoon satirizing these people; the reality is so much more ridiculous than anything I could draw.

But i try to not be too snarky so i won't say that. =) Seriously though, I've been referred to as a freak so often that I am one of the ones that embrace the term. If the ones that make the most noise are an indication of what society at large believes in, I don't want to be a part of society at large. Underground is a nicer place to be. Cooler and out of direct sunlight is especially good in this extra hot summer we're having. If i was snarky, i’d say you had that privilege surgically removed.
