I say all that by way of prelude. I think I could still walk around this group of people with only the same level of curiosity and sense of un-belonging that I do in any unfamiliar group and setting.

I find it interesting the number of people of Groff’s persuasion who write or talk as though they expect to be hog tied and beaten at any moment.

Still, I suppose if I went to a black nationalist camp-out or a woodland gathering of neopagan druids, I might be a little more nervous. I don’t think I’d feel rage when I saw their hats, though.
