Why does everyone descriminate against people who use there imagination?

[Lush]

Durelen, to that I will add (my favorite verses):

Miniver sighed from what was not,
And dreamed, and rested from his labors;
He dreamed of Thebes and Camelot.
And Priam's neighbors.
..........
Miniver Cheevy, born too late,
Scratched his head and kept on thinking;
Miniver coughed and called it fate,
And kept on drinking.

If that doesn't capture the mood of this thread, I don't know what does.
