Declaring Insanity


Face it, everyone is insane.  At least from my perspective.  You, on the other hand, may view me as insane.  I'd argue that.  But it would be not-guilty-by-comparison as opposed to outright innocence.

Exhibit "A" is a middle-aged white man -- let's call him, uh, "Dave" -- who firmly believes:

a)  the US government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks on New York
     and Washington, DC.
b)  Israel - indeed, Zionists everywhere - orchestrated the US
     government's involvement in the above.
c)  fluoridated water is a means to suppress intelligence and
     increase passivity among the general public.
d)  Neo-nazi web lunatics are reliable sources for information
     of any kind.

Exhibit "B" is another middle-aged man, this time black -- codename "Howell" -- who firmly believes in....well, nothing at all.  Except that he is right in all situations.  All the time.  This person embodies the lyrics:

     You don't want my love
     you want satisfaction, satisfaction
     You don't need my love
     you just want another piece of the action
     You're crazy

Now junior Freudians, please don't think I'm some jilted lover of said ebony Adonis.  No, this is purely Platonic.  It means "you don't need my friendship, opinion, input on any matter."  Instead, you're just looking for your own feeling of superiority; a way of getting ahead on the back of anyone and everyone.

That's the kind of person who would go to a reunion of friends and sit in the parking lot, listening to the audio of a Star Trek (TOS) episode.

I declare "Shenanigans!"
