It's all about the cheese.

This seems to be another _very_ common history among the smart poeples of
the world. The 1st generation smart/wealth is driven by this anger and
cheese somehow to excel and create. 2nd generation wealth, deprived of this
cheese often turns out as a total waste of oxygen.

The cause-effect vs correlation relationships between the cheese, the smart,
and the manic-depression is still a mystery. My money is on
cheese->manic-depression->smart.
