I would like to offer up the answer that Brian Mulroney (Canadian Prime Minister, a few years back) gave at the Meech Lake Summit, where Quebec was trying to be declared a "distinct society", and all of the other provinces were fighting it.

Loosely summarized, his response, in the form of The Meech Lake Accord, was to make each province a "distinct society" ... or, to apply it to this thread: "You're all different" ... or, to apply it to my personal opinion: "You're all a bunch of freaks".
