Paranoids, the lay usage, are believers. They believe that they are being persecuted by some powerful and evil entity and interpret everything in that framework. They don't doubt what is being told them, they believe, feel certain, that the tellers are liars and won't hear any arguments to the contrary. I couldn't help but consider that this is exactly how I, and others view those whiners on the left and their far out stories and proclamations. And it is their paranoid reaction to the events of the past 11 years that has us sceptics busily trying to explore, doubt, challenge, search for insight and define what is going on. Having said that.....and being the sceptic I am.......wouldn't it be great to really know what in the world drove the editors of Newsweak to run that piece......true or not?
