I am nostalgic for the time when "freak" was an approving term for a
person of the counterculture. I remember my brother and sister and I
getting kind of excited that some freaks were renting the house at the
top of the street (yay, it's not all boring suburbia after al
--some
of *them* have come among us!). My mom heard us referring to "the
freak house" and chastised us for calling those two young men
"freaks." We tried to explain that it meant we liked them.
