[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a quote from John Lennon:

When I was about twelve, I used to think I must be a genius, but nobody's noticed. Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? "No," I said, "I can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore I'm a genius." Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. But I used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. But if there's such a thing as genius — I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care.

I think it is true that most geniuses know that they are geniuses at a very young age, even if they are not recognized as such until much later in life.  I highly doubt that John Lennon would have tested as a genius in a high school entry exam, but he was certainly a genius. [/quote]

Great. He was also a druggie who beat his wife. What's your point?[/quote]

You sound like some tea party kook who thought President Clinton was a bad leader because he got a bj from an intern.  No one is flawless.  The flaws stand out most in the highly gifted.[/quote]

Not to get too OT here, but beating your wife is not a "flaw," it's a violent crime that involves assaulting and degrading another person.  [/quote]

How does anyone know for sure what went on between John Lennon and his wives?  Yoko hardly seemed submissive and she sure seemed to adore him.  Seems that one person pasted a label on him and others rush to criticize the label.  [/quote]
