Greetings good citizen, don't be alarmed by the title despite the fact I may very well be referring to you!
Which is to say, these days, with our media being mighty quick on the judgement trigger (if you're not sure they're quick to TELL YOU what to make of a given situation...often without half of the facts!)
So good citizen, if somebody's 'a little off' how do you tell? Is it a situation like the conversation between Tony Stark and Dr. David Banner regarding Loki, where the Hulk's alter ego opines 'you can smell the crazy coming off that guy!' Or is it more subtle, those butterflies the pit of your stomach or the small hairs on the back of your neck standing up?
The problem with either 'tell' is you have to be in the physical presence of the cause in order for them to activate. Trump sounds perfectly normal and even when he's spouting crazy at twenty knots it doesn't cause a physical reaction so how do you tell when someone is a few fries shy of a 'Happy Meal'?
If you're close enough to touch them you're inner warning system goes off [how unfortunate for most of us that this is 'too close for comfort'?]
So, in a manner of speaking, 'crazy' does manifest itself in the psyche and most of us can detect it just by its proximity.
This is what they're always talking about when they tell you 'trust your instincts'...if something doesn't feel 'right' then it probably isn't.
Problem is some people's alarm system is TOO sensitive so they teach themselves to ignore the MULTIPLE POSITIVES they receive more or less repeatedly.
But I digress, BIGTIME!
What I set out to do is express my pleasure that my post 'Owned' appears to be 'well received'...although from this side of the fence it's hard to tell if people are agreeing that we need to do more to promote decency and respect or if I'm witnessing Libertarians making themselves mental over my proposal to abolish 'ownership'?
Just lots of traffic, daily and that post in particular...
NOW I can circle back and talk about 'mental defects'. From infancy forward we are 'spoon-fed' horrendous amount of FICTION. Basically LIES but the people who repeat them believe what they're saying is true!
NOBODY, even those who claim to speak for him, can produce a signed 'Bill of Sale' from the creator, meaning what, precisely?
It means nobody OWNS 'anything'! There was nobody to BUY it from and 'finding a thing first by no means makes it YOURS!
Naturally, there are those who would 'disagree' with my 'logic' and even sing-song 'finder's keepers' loser weepers! for us all to, er, 'ponder' because they don't care if you 'enjoy' the rendering, what they're saying is they don't care if you disagree! it's THEIRS and YOU can't have it!
All fine and well if you're the first one here but the world has been here a LONG time and there isn't much (of value) that hasn't already been spoken for.
So you're supposed to respect the (frivolous) claim of some long dead guy that they were here first and now it belongs to whoever his WIFE spit out from between her loins?
I'm calling Mental Defect here because if YOU CAN'T SHARE then there is something SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU!
The world DOESN'T WORK if you are incapable of taking turns and accepting others have a right to the bounty of the planet too!
In fact people who lack this basic sense of 'empathy' are called 'Psychopaths!'
Now hold that thought and consider for a moment the people running for public office...the ones who refuse to acknowledge the working class even exists! [Ironically, the only one who admits to the working class actually HAS 'employees', don't mean he gives a crap about them and the record shows he doesn't!] But the other one is following her parties mandate to serve some mythical 'middle class' that too many people only 'think' they are part of.
Ask any stranger on the street if they are part of the 'middle class' and they'll smile and nod their acknowledgement even if they don't have two nickels to rub together!
Like owning, believing something doesn't make it true!
In fact, our whole civilization is based on a lie! A very selfish lie a that!
What lie is that? [A fair question as each lie requires dozens of others to prop up the original one!]
Why the 'lie of ownership' of course!
If we fail to 'unlearn' this lie our species is doomed to FAIL!
If you want to get down to cases it boils down to 'rich and poor, smart and stupid. We need to eliminate rich so everyone gets their fair share and work to erase 'ignorance' the biggest contributor to a world overflowing with stupid!
The goal being 'smart & happy!' instead of the other goal the self-centered few aimed at, 'stupid and miserable'
Problem is the 'mental cases' run the world.
This isn't a lost cause, we can still prevail, we just have to 'use our smarts!'
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
