Oh, joy.

So I get a number of scholarship packages in the mail today. Hey, if anyone thought of applying for the "Hope For The Future" scholarship sponsored by the DuBerry Educational Fund, don't. Here's what came in the mail with the scholarship application.

You're right, you're a lot more visible than most of us are. And that puts a lot more responsibility on you, because people are going to associate the things you do with all of us. Is it fair? No, but that's the way it is.

And as for stopping you - you know, I guess I couldn't. I don't really think anyone could. Ability like yours, you could get away with darn near anything. Best I can do is try and convince you not to.

I didn't ask for this! none of us do, I think, but if someone had said to me "you're a mutant, choose your powers!" I certainly would never have said "oh, please make me purple! please!"

and that is what separates me from them. I know I can hurt them and get away with it and never get caught. I also know it's wrong and am too proud to sink down to their level. I have self respect.
