The Maverick

Society claims to love a maverick, but I'm not so sure. When you look at places like PeopleOfWalmart.com, what you see is folk being ridiculed just for being "different". For not fitting in. For being a maverick.

That sucks.

If someone wants to be a bit different from "normal", from "average", then as long as they aren't causing harm or distress to others I applaud them. Maybe their look is not something I like, maybe their actions are not how I would act, but if they respect others they have every right to do what they want without ridicule or shame.

So this picture is for those who dare to be different... even if it's not in one of the ways that society sanctions. Go for it, mavericks!
