Not even close, which is why you are a clown, a Contrary, washing yerself in the dirt and drying yerself in the creek. Every tribe needs somebody to sit on the TV and watch the sofa.
A Contrary was a member of a Native American tribal group in North America who adopted behavior that was deliberately the opposite of other tribal members. Contraries were often found in tribes of the Great Plains and the Southwest. In the Southwest, this person came to be seen as a clown during ceremonial occasions. On the plains, this disparate behavior amounted to a cult in its own right.
[edit] Behavior of the contrary
Typically, the contrary would order his speech so that he would say the opposite of what he meant. He might also indulge in a physical display, riding his horse facing the tail, to display his unusual behavior. When they came to a stream, they would take off one moccasin, and then hold up the bare leg as they hopped through the water.

CO2, Global Warming and Coral Reefs: Prospects for the Future

Important note:
The report below is published by the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, a non-profit organization that is overall skeptical of the negative direct and indirect impacts of elevated CO2. This report provides a highly biased view and interpretation of selected scientific articles. It also includes misleading analysis and statements.
Nevertheless, this report is mentioned in this blog which aims to provide an unbiased view of the literature and media articles pertaining to ocean acidification and its consequences on marine organisms and ecosystem.
