“Let me tell you about people,” he said, raising his index finger toward me like a sword. “They’re petty, self-centred, self-righteous, vain, arrogant and they’re usually totally pig-headed!” He paused, turning a mental page. “And when they’re sure they’re right, they’ll belittle you, your beliefs, the fact that you even have those beliefs—in fact, anything that doesn’t fit into their narrow world view!”

He paused, drew back, and returned his eyes to normal. “Now,” he said matter-of-factly, “let me tell you about the people I don’t like…”
