Inconvenient Gene

I am inconvenient to have around. I tell you what I know and what I believe. That's a problem if it doesn't' fit into your world view or the envelope of your life.

I'm just enough out of the box of life to be a major irritant to most people. Even those I love or who allegedly love me.

I'm like Al Gore's book. Inconvenient Truth. I don't agree with it but it haunts around the edges.

SO,

What would you rather I do:
  • Go along to get along
  • Don't express any opinions other than conventional knowledge
  • Be phony with you
  • If I know something that might help you keep it to myself
  • Say what I mean in such couched language you miss the point
  • Be more vanilla in my approach so you won't be offended
  • Lie to you so you will still like me
  • Use soft words to manipulate a relationship

I don't think you really want that. You know I'll never lie to you, in fact I'll tell you the truth no mater how inconvenient it is for you. You don't want to live in a lie.

Or is it like the movie A Few Good Men (1992)
Col. Jessep: You want answers?

Kaffee: I think I'm entitled.

Col. Jessep: You want answers?

Kaffee: I want the truth.

Col. Jessep: You can't handle the truth.


Can YOU handle the truth?

I'm hoping you can.

Inconvenient truth named GENE.

I Yam what I Yam and I aint's gonna takes it no more...............(Popeye)
