Come on- we know from our years on SI that SI is where you find ALL the good psychiatric diagnosis. Why I've seen a MILLION of 'em- and what's more people can diagnose illnesses in Aliases! So of course diagnosing a guy whose got a record like the Pres should be no big deal. I am the only one who can give you the correct diagnosis for our president- cereal killer- based on his real life battle with a pretzel- it was him or the pretzel you know, and if you don't believe me, go to Swiftpretzelvets.com- they have all the REAL news on this.

Hey, a lot of sheep have to die for all those diplomas. If diplomas meant nothing, I'd never be able to hang mine on the wall again - out of shame for the shorn<g>. The notion of a non-local (non-personal) psychological field effects tickled me as a physics loving guy. I was intrigued by my own role in this mass psychosis theory. That alone was worth the read - ionesco and I have had this discussion before about how many memes parasitize humanity making them spend tremendous amounts of effort for naught. Pyramids, Stonehenge, Easter Island, Cathedrals. When we were in Scotland, there were these huge piles of rocks people piled up (probably by people at the brink of starving). Clava Cairns was one of many. All done by bronze age people. Think of all the energy and effort people took from their daily lives of rearing sheep and growing a few measly roots to do this! I sometimes think America is in a similar oil-fired opium dream. When we awake from it we will find that we have spent way too much time chasing hobgoblins around and too little of our resources saving, creating jobs, educating children and treating the sick and old. These are the things that really affect people's daily lives and I'm so sorry we haven't been tending to them.

Rambi, when I read things online I decide whether they make sense to me on an intuitive level. I thought that the article by Paul Levy that cosmicforce posted did that. In other words, what it said about Bush rang true for me, with my opinion of Bush and also how his actions have affected the larger world. It all made perfect sense to me, and so I responded. But when I was talking about Bush's followers, I did not mean everyone who voted for him. John Kerry wasn't a very good option for a lot of people. The election was very close. By followers, I meant the people who at this late date are still either working for him or who totally buy into what he is doing to this country and the world right now, and vehemently defend him and will not even read any articles pointing out FACTS about horrible things that are going wrong in his administration or the evil things he is trying to do to this country. People have strong feelings on both sides, obviously. You do not seem to be in the same place I am in feeling total disgust and alarm about this administration. But I do not see you as one of his followers in the sense I was referring to. I am sorry you are offended. Whatever you're drinking, I wish I had some!
