There were few individuals in my high school; either you were an Athlete, or you were nobody. Coming at the beginnings of the Age of Aquarius, those of us who were intelligent, who were forward looking and rational (i.e., were 'brains'), were a small minority. And we reveled in our weirdness! We published an 'underground newspaper' openly, with permission of the principal, funded out of our own pockets and distributed to all. We promoted radical school changes, radical community changes, radical political candidates. And after graduation, we watched the jocks turn into factory workers with beer guts. Few of them amounted to anything, and those were the ones who associated with everyone and respected everyone.
