Thank you for your contribution. I hope you had fun writing it. Now, for the rest of us, would you mind relating it to something real? I like to compare my reality to something real so I need an example of what you are describing. Thank you, again.

My point is human beings are not rational beings and as such are all, to varying degrees, insane.

If that is difficult to understand, simply take a look at the Democratic Party and Liberals.

Their entire movement is grounded in a fear of the uncertainties of life. They are trying, for the most part, to eliminate these uncertainties through the application of a type of human organization called socialism.

Socialism has been been proven over and over again not to work (and, in fact, creates a kind of human slavery--in which humans are slaves to the state).

Their fear of the uncertainties of life (they call it unfairness) is so great they would rather be enslaved in a zoo than to freely and bravely face and negotiate this "reality" fraught with uncertainty. BTW, this zoo has been shown to be quite ineffective at eliminating life's uncertainties...but Liberals still cling to the idea.

As you and I know, one cannot avoid life and life is uncertain...but Liberals refused to accept and adapt to this reality.

Hence, they are insane.

That's just one example! We all have fears that cause us to behave irrationally and hence we are all insane to some degree.

Does that help?

BTW, I just thought of something else.

There was a thread on FR the other day in which a few Freepers were grousing about the way companies treat their employees during recessions.

Some were saying that, for example, "I stuck with that company during the bad times and it fired me without any appreciation for my commitment."

This is another example of the irrational human fear of reality (call it the "fear of uncertainty").

Corporations are, in their own ways, socialist enterprises.

Employees give up certain freedoms in exchange for the greater certainty of a collective human effort.

Corporations owe their very existence to their ability to attract employees by giving the illusion of the elimination of uncertainty.

But corporations don't eliminate uncertainty...they merely transform it into more palatable units.

Workers are permitted their illusions of safety in numbers in exchange for a certain amount of servitude. This is not alien to humans or to pack animals (belong to a pack, not carrying one) because both have for time immemorial found safety in groups.

The problem arises when humans adopt the irrational belief that they are safer than they actually are.

That is another example of insanity due to failure to accept or adapt to reality...and this is one that Conservatives are familiar with.
