Another reason why I am pro-enhancement is that I think these eccentricities are a part of our identity.
The ideology of balance tells us that we must even out all of our traits until there is no longer an imbalance. Supposing everyone became perfectly even, would anyone be different?
I think we sacrifice our identity in attempting to level our traits.
This reminds me of a book recently about certain deviant subcultures. It pointed out how middle class/"normal" people tend to play down thier unique qualities in an effort to maintain comformity, whereas certain subcultures will play up their unique qualities. Someone who is normally funny might become known for that, resulting in a constant feeling of needing to be funny. Likewise someone who is violent/prone to cosmic musing/crazy/etc.
