> BobVirtually all my life. Started in school, would have been labeled ADHD or some such nonsense today. Bright kid, bored in class, and willful enough to defy. Parents and teachers were constantly trying to get me to be like the other kids, i.e. compliant. I've never done compliant very well. Similar experiences in the work world as an adult, again where compliance is king, and sycophants flourish. Like cliques in school, the desire for group uniformity excludes all others who don't match.
