Deviancy is a word fraught with value judgment. As if you are better than those you are calling, basically, freaks.

Your VERY liberal perception is skewed.

de·vi·ant adj
[ dvee ənt ]

1. different from traditional norm: diverging sharply from a customary, traditional, or generally accepted standard, or displaying such divergent behavior

Would you like your child to be called a deviant at school? Surely, if you had a child, he would “deviate” from the “norm” on some scales. We all do.

Yet as I said, the word deviant has a pejorative aura. You cannot deny it. Pointless to use the dictionary. Call Sarah Palin’s adorable child “retarded” to her. See what I mean? Words have connotations as well as definition.

Oh, and calling me very liberal? Funny. Why would I be a 14 year donor to this site if I were liberal? Really????
