That's interesting, Monk. People believe I belong on a "short bus;" in other words, that I am mentally retarded in some way, because I object to the term "short bus" itself. That's almost at the level of "I know you are, but what am I?"
Maybe I am mentally impaired, because my mind can't grasp the fact that people here approve of Charles using terms that demean an unfortunate group that, until the Kennedy family came along with their money and influence, were third class citizens in our society. I blanch whenever I hear "short bus" or "retard." Not everyone handles it the way you do.
You're bigger than this, Monk. Your emperor is wearing no clothes.
