No, I agree. I think Mel Gibson has probably got a lot of strange stuff in his brain from his father, who is a classic extremist on just about everything, I gather. He took the family to Australia because he didn't want his son to be in the army, and still seems to hate the US. And his father is also a Holocaust-denier.
Still, it seems to me that Mel Gibson must have managed to moderate the influence of whatever his father taught him, for some years, at least, or he could never even have functioned. But between his anti-Semitic statements, his recent ravings about George Bush and his ugly behavior with the police, I really think he may be having some kind of personality melt-down. Plus he looks quite bizarre.
"Plus he looks quite bizarre."
I concur. I think he's frying his brain cells with too much booze, and I think he is battling with himself and his own beliefs. It's a case of cognitive dissonance. He knows his prejudices are without basis, but that was how he was taught all his life. And now he does battle with himself over what he knows is right and wrong, but because of all of the irrational garbage he was fed as a child, has screwed him up royally. That's my psychological take on Mel's behavior.
