If you could only be remembered with one word, what word would it be?
"Mad."MUCH madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
’T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur,—you ’re straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.
(Emily Dickinson)

Exactly, I'll never understand people and why they feel they must ban every thing they don't agree with. If you don't like it, don't participate. Plain and simple.
Every time I hear the name Emily Dickinson, I always think of the English teacher in high school who pointed out that the meter of most Emily Dickinson poem is such that it can be sang to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme. That's probably as useless a bit of information as I carry around in my head, which is likely why it's still in there.
@El_Tiz - This is the 2nd time I've heard that. Thing is, I've never watched Gilligan's and have no idea what the theme song is.
@Issie - Am I seriously THAT old?
@El_Tiz - Haha... no you're not THAT old. I simply didn't watch American shows when I was a kid. But I've heard of the show, if that helps.
