     There are the odd exceptions (no pejorative implied).

     I, as well, do not find math to be the most difficult aspect
     of existence.  However I have, on occasion, encountered those that do.
     I have a sneaking suspicion that the difficulty did not involve
     the oppression of society expressing itself in the synthesized
     guise of a plastic nimnull.

     Or how's about "Facing up to reconciling getting relative personality
     angst with general existential morality is tough, especially in 
     a quantal house with Ken."

     That's probably one reason why Mattel didn't ask me.
