10/20/02: Insanity

Very often I see people say that the sniper, or bin Laden, or Saddam Hussein must be insane. After all, they killed people! Anyone who would commit murder must be insane. Right? Let me just answer this with a resounding no. Insane does not mean, "to posess morals that are not my own". Murder is a moral issue, and you don't have to have a mental cross-wiring to be able to do it.

All people who say this are trying to do is discredit those they don't approve of in order to make themselves feel better. It's like saying that the president is a moron. You know he graduated from Harvard, so what the fuck are you talking about?

Morality is an invention of man, and breaking it does not require a miswiring of the brain.
