Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 11, 2013

non conformists are lazy, rude, and dumb.

If Caulfield spent this much energy and rationalization on the essay, he would have had it done days ago.

Conform whilst in elementary school; start being a bit more individual and a free spirit more and more each year after. Don’t let the man bring you down Peace all.

A fond memory from a concert appearance by Steve Martin back when I was in college:

Let’s all recite the Non-Conformist’s Oath! I WILL BE DIFFERENT!

(((thousands of voices: I WILL BE DIFFERENT! )))

I WILL BE UNIQUE!

(((thousands of voices: I WILL BE UNIQUE! )))

I WILL NOT REPEAT STUPID THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY!

(((thousands of voices: I WILL NOT . . . (laughter) )))

(((Yes, we laughed. But first we sheepled. Learn from this.)))

That’s not counting pluses and minuses.

One very good trait that Non-Conformists have is not giving a d*** what the sheep think.

(I’ll add Bob Dylan and Steve Jobs)

Nonconformists change the world. The rest just take up space.

The true non-conformist goes their own way, quietly, without fan fare. The noisy ones are trying to make a point or a living. Staying off the radar is comfortable and safer than hanging a target on your butt.

Just wondering if conformity an attribute found more in one political party than the other. I have my theories, but will keep them to myself. (Probably dancing with the troll now, better quit while I’m ahead)
