why is it that people who think they have something so great think that someone who doesn't have it is suffering?
it's kind of the very nature of proselytizing in general... of all kinds. religious, scientific, health, political. whatever.
i've seen a lot lately about 'find a cure for autism!!!111one'. it's not a disease. it's an alternative brain make-up. it's part of who people are. it's only difficult for people who want crap handed to them. same with add (real add not the stupid parents who want pets for kids) and other function issues. same with women and why we aren't 'normal'... like men. same with this new breed of convertist atheists. of all the people who confuse me...
but really. it's an important question. where does this come from? is it the standard 'i'm better than you and you have to be like me to be cool' or is it something more, something systemic, something insidious and we just haven't figured it out yet. is it the same creature as hate: just as destructive but directed with good intentions? (the road to hell....)
probably coffee house cause it has little to do with anything in particular.
