They're just not like "regular people," they don't hob-nob with "regular people," and they wouldn't be comfortable trying to fit in to a "regular people" lifestyle. Bud, you remember how a lot of the people connected with the Alabama School of Fine Arts were "very different" from the "just plain folks" that we grew up with. They just saw things differently, and were removed from the world of "average folks." It's the same sort of thing here. I do know some liberal-types who are pretty normal in most respects, but to a greater or lesser extent all of them inhabit their own little world. I remember being very surprised when a young woman I home-taught in our ward (and who I very definitely wanted to have you meet, btw), who was single, never-married, no kids, a high-school teacher with an advanced degree, made a comment along the lines of "I really support Howard Dean for President!" Her whole world-view was "I'm single, all alone in the world, and someone has to take care of me. It might as well be the government, and Howard Dean says he'll make sure we all have health insurance." One of these days, that woman will be married with kids, and I have a feeling she's going to see the world a bit differently. I've seen it happen time and time again.
