That's why I don't live in Bellevue, or Mountlake, or (gods help me) on Mercer Island, but someplace where most folks have to work for a living. They may not understand *me*, but at least they don't think the world revolves around them. And who's going to understand me *anywhere* I go? :)
Not that there aren't drawbacks, as M. just pointed out over my shoulder--she and the boy were on the bus this side one day, having to listen to a couple of guys discuss the successful weight loss of one's wife. Seems she'd lost two hundred pounds. "Wow," said the husband's friend. "That's a whole 'nother woman."

Obviously, stupidity is endemic.
