It's heartening...

when someone who comes off as shy and not too bright in terms of technology or school research surprises you by writing an e-mail to a bigoted legislator whose column in the paper was one of those 'how dare the government tell us we should tolerate a homosexual lifestyle'. I am constantly finding that although I really do try not to peg people, I still do it (as do we all). I guess I tend to prejudge sweet, submissive people as stupid or backwards, too, sometimes. It's great when someone reminds me otherwise.
