i think you are normal. just as sierra says, you don't have an understanding of them.
therefore you have strong feelings against them.
you know, it's not just the ones that are born that way, sometimes brain damage can come from car accidents, overdoses, being a burnt out drunk, etc.,
i think if you can just be social towards them, but keeping them at arms length, (you know, not too close) you might start to feel more comfortable about having to sit next to one.
you are right, though, you never know how they may react to something. just be nice, act non effected by them, not overly friendly, then you may start to feel more comfortable around them.
iin to have a phobia of mentally retarded people?
