I seems that everywhere you look and everywhere that you go you run up on yet another cetifiable nut. You see them daily walking up and down the street talking and more often arguing with the voices in their heads. The number of crazies running around in the world seems to double or treble every month. In another few years these aliens may possibly outnumber the normies, who are so milquetoast and "vanilla-ey" that you can just tell they retain their 1st personality (no matter how many of them they may end up head hosting.) and a conscious admonition to try to assimilate into the most socially accepted strata of their country, their socio-economic position, and the prescence of mental illness in their direct bloodline relatives. Is the pressure of the modern day life to blame, is it something in the water, or are they just unable to cope with anything that falls outside of what they consider the norm?

I don't know what causes it but yes, I've run into a number of "nuts" that even have state issued papers stating they are mentally unstable. I know alot of ppl don't agree but I really think it would be safer for the ones of us who are "normal" and the ones who are the "nuts" if there was a place for the "nuts" to be kept. Years ago they had asylums for ppl like that. I know ppl hate to hear that and I mean no disrespect but...that's my opinion. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~
