INSANITY

AN AUTHOR OF A BOOK ABOUT LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES POSITED THAT "STUBBORN AND PATIENT COURAGE IS PERHAPS THE COMMONEST OF HUMAN VIRTUES." DOES THIS BEHAVIOR COPY THE ANIMALS OR THE ANGELS? DOES IT MIMIC A LOWER EVOLUTIONARY OR HIGHER TELEOLOGICAL FORM OF OUR EXISTENCE? THE FACT THAT THE WRITER CALLS THIS RESPONSE TO REALITY A VIRTUE, TENDS TO FAVOR OUR MOVEMENT FORWARD. RARELY DO WE COMMENT ON AN ANIMAL'S VIRTUE. RARELY TOO, DO WE COMMENT ON AN ANIMAL'S INSANITY. MAN DEMONSTRATES INSANITY WITH REGULARITY.

AN EXAMPLE IS AN ELITIST LIBERAL'S SUGGESTION THAT THERE BE IN AMERICA A GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED VOLUNTEER PROGRAM. HOW DO YOU 'MAKE' CITIZENS VOLUNTEER FOR 1 YR IN THE MILITARY OR SERVICE IN A HEALTH, EDUCATIONAL, OVERSEES OR SAVINGS PROGRAM? AMERICANS ALREADY MAKE VOLUNTARY CHOICES AND CONTRIBUTIONS EVERY DAY; THE ONLY WAY TO 'MAKE' THEM VOLUNTEER WOULD BE TO THROW MORE GOVERNMENT MONEY THROWN INTO THE STUPID IDEA PIT.

HUMANS MIGHT ASPIRE TO GET THEIR WINGS, BUT WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. TODAY’S STRUGGLE IS TO ENDURE WITH STUBBORN AND PATIENT COURAGE THE INSANITY OF LIBERAL IDEOLOGY.
