You might not like my personal version of them. I’m sure my therapists get frustrated (even if they don’t show it) when I talk about them. You see, I lose KarmaPoints™ for being rude or otherwise not nice. But I can never gain any since I’m only doing what I’m supposed to do according to the Social Contract that I learned growing up in the suburbs (say please and thank you, hold the door for people, be respectful, etc). Which means I’m only sinking… ;-)
Of course, I now live in a more ‘urban’ area where the social contract is very different and people think I’m odd for doing the things I do all the time – and not just because I’m Gay!
