During my Rotary trip in Kampala, my favorite radio commercial was “Get off the sexual network, stay faithful to one partner”. I also enjoyed eating fried crickets!

Doesn’t it reminds us of the book “Lost horizon”, from James Hilton?

I’ve had my eye on this book as well. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the Old West and have gained a better understanding of the complexity of that time. As far as some of these legends and mythologized events go, I’m reminded of the line from T.S. Eliot: “Between the idea and the reality/falls the shadow”.

Comment on Is Your President Insane? Why you’d better hope so by frankbures

Thanks for the comment! Actually, though, the book doesn’t have anything to do with Freud. You should give it a read before dismissing it. It’s quite compelling.

I never cease to be amazed at the intellectual dishonestly of psycologists. It is sheer hutzpah and absurdity to claim to diagnosis a person who you have never meet. Secondly, the whole point of mental illness is that you have a lack of ability to discern reality in one or more areas of life. To know that a person lacks reality testing and at the same time claim that person is more insightful than people who have no demonstrated lack of reality testing is sheer insanity. But given that all of psychology is based on the delusion Freud dreamed up in his frequent cocaine high states, that there is a unconscious (ego, id and superego), which has never once rationally been proven to exist, that controls all of our conscious actions, I shouldn’t be surprised at this latest theory of theirs.

Next thing you know, they’ll be writing that schizophrenics make good national security advisors, or better yet, ought to be the people who fingers are on the nuclear bomb explosive devices.
