Insanity exsists, in an individual and in humanity. You can get it rare, medium, or well done. Right now, it seems humanity is ready to order. Humanity most recently ordered WW I, WW II, The Korean War, The VietNam War, The Iraq Wars (Papa Bush and W), The Afghanistan War (ditto), Syria, Yemen. ad nauseum. Insanity often results in killings, but I would argue that it is self-induced, that had there been benevolent, professional intervention, we could have prevented these mass muder- fests. But hey, wars, especially big world wars, are money-makers, and the money-makers are not the ones being killed. And then there are variations on this theme:  catasphrophic climate change and the imminent threat of nuclear holocaust. One can get carried away with this killing stuff, you know. And, what would you like for desert? Copyright 2020 Tod Howard Hawks
