I've noticed the exact same of those who are involved with the arts and
even more so of those involved in the sciences. To be able to have the
will and ability to go against the 'norm' requires your being a little
'off'.

The truly incompetant folk who claim to have the abduction experiences I
have found to not be quite common, though they do get more attention
that the stable ones. I do know twice as many individuals who have
claimed to have and are involved with the study of abductions who are
very intelligent, successfull, emotionally and mentally stable human
beings. There is a stereotype that has been attributed to abductees
which is based on *faith* and **faith**alone.
