Even if it is only that one, I think the person espousing the craziness should be held responsible as they inspired and encouraged it. This militia guy that has been on the radio telling people to throw bricks through the window should be arrested and charged with inciting violence.

What I mean is, 100 people can listen to a crazy ass nut job, and 99 of them can walk away and say "man, what a nut job"...but there may be that 1 person who buys into it, and becomes, ultimately, a brainwashed nutjob (or a potential suicide bomber). So why did the 1 become a left wing, or right wing...crazy...while the other 99 were unaffected? My point is that it's not necessarily all the crazy rhetoric on the right or left that "crazifies" someone. Maybe they were already predisposed to crazy...and the rhetoric just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Maybe Larry's got some psychological studies about this amateur theory of mine. -- Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
