   I sometimes wonder if peoples openly insisting they're part of an   
   exclusive club (e.g. "We're Italian!", "We're software developers!",   
   "We're gay!") doesn't invite jealousy unto scorn from those not   
   included in the club....?   
      
   Maybe it's better to not be a "this" or a "that", but to simply be?
