Here's a minor insight into mx's comment. Since he is not of 'noble'
blood, the stratifcation he mentions is a reason why he is condemned
to spending his time alone playing computer games while others are
actually living a real life in Paris.

I have several clients who use similiar excuses to explain how it is
they, who are intelligent, have managed to live a less fulfilling life
than their inferiors.

If those clients can be helped to see a different reality, they are on
their way to a healthier mental existance.

Some horses can be shown a fresh water spring, but won't willingly
drink from it.

You know, if someone could rephase that last line, , it might become a
common saying. Bertie, would "Mx is an idiot" be a suitable rephasing?


How 'bout, "You can give cents to a Manic, but you can't make them common"
