Stephen Ethan talks in this book about he and Jorja becoming friends beacuse they were both outliers There's even some discussion between Max and Ethan as to what an outlier is.

I kind of liked the term and the way that Ethan used it but it did remind me of my statistics classes where we discussed outliers and how and when they could safely be discarded becuase they didn't really matter.

Course that's only a statistical concept. I personally think that what makes us strongest is our differences.

It sort of troubled me that Jorja, an outlier herself was so certain in her argument about America being a "Christian country" because the majority was Christian. That she was unwilling to allow that there could be multiple views as to what's right kind of belittled her own worth as an outlier.
