So what is it that you want, as an 8? Recognition? Appreciation? Compliance? Or just to find others like you?
I've known people who sound like you, and though they are usually right that they have done laudable things, there never seems to be a point to these declarations. I can empathize (and no, I'm not one of those "sensitive" types) with your frustration and resulting defiance, but where is this going? I'll reserve further comment until I hear from you more, but it's interesting.

Any other 8's out there? I was introduced to this e-gram stuff by a 4 girlfriend who long since kicked me over for someone more sensative. When I finally admitted I was a true, no winged 8, I was " beat up on" a lot by the sensative, fakey, manipulative , nutso, rest of the star. I'm the quintessential primitave. I fought a war and raised a family. I did my duty to god and county, not because I'd gain by it, or because someone wanted me to, but because it was in my nature. That's bad? I'm proud to be the protector of the cave fire and the gene pool. I'm also a prize winning painter and beer brewer, but that doesn't count because I'm not a 4 or 3. Do I sense something amiss, or is it just the smoke in the cave?
