Thank goodness I’m normal ;)
I have a severe aversion to leftists - I have strong desire to stomp their faces in.
Communist goals number 38 and 39 of 45 read on the house floor by A S Herlong on january 10 1963.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
Virtually everything is a mental disorder according to these folks. Except homosexuality.
Let's define crazy as an inability or refusal to define and adapt to reality.
At sunrise on the Serengeti Plain, reality for the wildebeest is that he must run faster than the lioness...or he is dinner. And the lioness must run faster than the wildebeest or she cannot feed her cubs or herself.
In the wild, if you are alive...you are sane.
But human beings are able to exist at quite some distance from reality and, the more society and families coddle their members, the more such members are able to extend that distance.
Human insanity, quite incorrectly, has been historically defined by society and families as that distance from reality at which members become difficult to handle or inconvenient. That of course is a fallacy.
Because humans cannot define reality (and, for the most part, refuse to try) and because reality, even if it could be defined, is a rapidly moving target, it is difficult to calculate the distance between a person and his reality.
But knowing humans as we all do, we can be safe in presuming that such distance is, on average, significant...and that humanity is collectively and individually quite insane.
Brilliant. Like the Ukranian Criminal Code, article 54, of the Soviet Union. Everyone can be labeled a counter-revolutionary. The tyranny of ambiguity- your guilty because everyone is guilty.
What do they say about buggery, or the desire to commit buggery?
In other words, DSM-IV is in agreement with every poet, novelist, wit or scribe that ever lived.
