I love the theorem. It's the best statement of what I have heard many people try to say, many times, in many neighborhoods. In the interest of the advancement of science, I point out that your theorem must always be considered in association with a corollary to Gresham's Law. The original Gresham's Law is "Bad money drives out good money." The corollary of which I speak is that "Nut cases drive out everyone else at public functions." Ordinary, good-hearted people just don't have the stamina of any of the standard types assigned to neighborhoods by the cosmic forces.
