test your sanity
america is insane.
that’s the only explanation for polls indicating americans will re-elect george w. bush in november, thus returning control of the asylum to the head inmate.
this is not the act of a rational electorate. by definition, it is madness to compulsively repeat the same act and expect a different result. so, either americans are insane…or they approve of the last four years of bush administration ineptitude.
but if they do, in fact, endorse four more years of lunacy…they must be insane.
either way, those voters clearly are incompetent to manage their own affairs, let alone those of the entire country. legally, such a result would be invalid, and a guardian would be appointed. anyone want to volunteer? (note: volunteers will be considered legally insane.)
look, is it reasonable or rational to bring back a commander-in-chief who, upon learning of the 9/11 attacks, lingered in an elementary school classroom, waiting for someone to tell him what to do?
does it make sense to support a president who could not, or would not recall any mistakes made by his administration in the years since 9/11?
for those of you uncertain of your mental status, the compos mentis answer to both questions is, “no.
in a courtroom, those judged not guilty by reason of insanity are still put away for a long time. where can we send millions of americans who, contrary to all logic, will still vote for a nutcase and his cronies in november
of course: france. that’ll drive ‘em crazy.

I think I have a figure that helps explain some of the madness.
Check out this study reprinted from “Free Inquiry Magazine”. The important bit is all the way at the bottom in Table 8. Of all the nations, the United States is the one that knows the least about how humans evolved. You see, we’re not insane, we’re ignorant.
