How to move labels in a R plot?

From a Fundy: How do we move past the labels of people, to seeing each other as real people?

• Since someone did not like me asking this question and felt it was worthy of a violation notice, let's see if we can make this more "legal" far too often we don't see past the labels and only see people as gay, straight, fundamentalist, bisexual, transgendered, lesbian, methodist, atheist, agnostic, wiccan, buddhist, etc. What would be the best way to get past the labels and see people as they really are? For instance, what would you want someone to know about yourself?

  wow, that's a really good question. in truth people are so many things. few realize it. when one is at home in familiar surroundings one tends to compartmentalize; don't know why. when one is subject to phenomenon; like traveling to a foreign country or going to a concert; one is at the mercy of the grace of others and one can not afford to segment people into comfortable groups. i tend to take people more at face value when i am in a vulnerable position. i have always been lucky in this as people seem to show their best sides most of the time when things get tough. i notice that it doesn't matter who you are, or what political spectrum you belong to; we all have the unfortunate tendency to comfortably put people in niches. just look at the palin letterman thing. what an awful way for letterman to express his politics by battering the already sensitive female image. poor letterman is squirming and not wanting to admit he has put his foot in do do. you would think that he could have some insight politically to go after what is really wrong with republicans; but no he chose the easy way out; he thought he was on familiar ground. put letterman in a different setting; make him a little more vulnerable, and he could make good decisions. i think the best time i had encountering people was when i was down and out and on the road. yeah, i got abused, i got sick, i got hurt. but it was totally worth the ride. i met people that were so high, so wonderful. and the best came out in me. sometimes my best was met with people trying to take advantage of me. sometimes they did. sometimes i was judged. but sometimes love happened. sometimes magic came. sometimes priceless moments pulled me up into the clouds and i soared. take a chance and you will see all the labels fade into insignificance.
