Who needs freaks? We do!

Just got done watching Late Night With Conan O'Brien. He did his usual slew of freak-celebrity jokes. You know, making fun of Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson and all those others who have passed outside the realm of normality.

But you know what - we *need* people like that. Because they personify the dark side of ourselves - the shadow side, as Carl Jung called it - the unpresentable side which we would rather not recognize, and would rather project onto other people. The more we laugh at these crazy loons, the better we feel about our own supposed "normality".

So I say, keep the freaks coming!
