[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]And I embrace the word "common" in ways that would never occur to "special" folk like her:

common courtesy
common sense
common humanity
common experience
Commonwealth
"the Commons"
etc, etc, etc....

"The specials" like to set themselves above and apart, but they're tightly bound to this common (shared) Earth we all inhabit in all the common (ordinary) ways every person, every flower, and every bug is.

The only thing that really differentiates people is their greatness or meanness of spirit and, as we've all heard, "In the end, only kindness matters." Lots of "the specials" don't understand that and never will.
