as blair lost it

[TeeJay]

...the mad/bad/just happen to disagree with them scale...

Would you care to explain this 'scale' then?

 

[fela fan]

Ok fair enough, but do you agree that this indiscriminate bandying around of the term 'mad' is pretty damn offensive?

And who is doing that on this thread mate? Or has your mind been playing tricks and overriding the words you read in front of you... ?

Is anyone completely sane?

No i don't think so. I think we all belong to a continuum with being sane at one end and being insane at the other end. Then with time and space as agents, we swing anywhere along that line.

In other words we succumb to sanity and we succumb to insanity. Some do the latter much more, like blair for example.

I personally, i state this again, see insanity in quite different terms than mental illnesses and madness and the like.

According to Jackie Ashley, who wrote in the Guardian a couple of days before Blunkett’s resignation, “Ministers who are sympathetic to Blair say there is a missionary zeal about him as he confronts the end of his time in power. There is talk of him having a Maoist moment and throwing his energies in his own cultural revolution.”
