Who are the deciders who determine who is normal, and who is a freak? I ask this rhetorical question with the understanding that humankind seems to have this habit of its individuals defining normal as a circle of acceptable traits, qualities, and behaviors that are just a tad bit bigger than oneself -- but only just a tad. It's an "I'm okay, but that freak over there is not okay" kind of way of looking at things.
