ACT NORMAL!
Who is it that gets together in mobs and hunts down, tortures and
kills people who are different from them? Who is it that teaches modesty,
courtesy, and generosity but lives in depravity, rudeness, and greed? Who
is it that can gather together the time, energy and money to murder
millions and destroy cities, for the sake of a flag, deity or economic
system? Not weirdos, not kooks or cranks or nuts. It's the \"Normal\"
people who do those things.
It's the \"Normal\" people who believe there's only one \"real world\"
and it's the one THEY'RE living in. It's the \"Normal\" people who kill
each other over differences in that reality, and if someone can't trick
themselves into ignoring the millions of inconsistencies or can't gloss
over the gaping flaws in that reality-construct, or can't even pretend
convincingly that they believe that flimsy and self-contradictory world is
ALL TRUE, rather than have their own illusory stability undermined or
accept that other ways of thinking and seeing might be valid, the \"Normal\"
people imprison those \"mentally ill,\" and experimentally destroy their
personalities by use of drugs, electroconvulsion, and brain surgery.
