this is NOT about me thinking she’s an idiot…this is NOT about me disagreeing with some, most or everything she believes in…it’s not even about me wondering why NOBODY apparently has the guts to strongly advise her on the consequences she herself will likely face when she opens her mouth…at the very least it seems like her Mouth is faster than her Mind–I absolutely without a doubt know what it’s like to live that way…It’s about this: I think ANY addiction is unhealthy–be it drugs, food, Jesus, TV…the Internet…Having only circumstancial evidence, I believe Sarah Palin is (if not microscopically crazy) addicted to FAME…not POWER, if that were the case, isn’t there some power in\u00a0being a Govenor? Jared Loughner is (IMO) an obviously troubled soul…But (again from personal experience) I believe sanity is not black or white…Just as there is such a thing as “functional illiteracy” I believe (isn’t it obvious?) there is such a thing as “functional lunacy”…Which is a bit beyond being merely “eccentric” or “colorful”…There are people that I know who (I believe) are capable of “snapping”–I don’t think Palin is\u00a0THAT dangerous, but I don’t think she’s a harmless buffoon either…She seems delusional to me, and THAT is dangerous enough…Today at least, I feel sorry for her…as for me, I’m well aware that this note is a major “can o’ worms”…but am *I* not entitled to the freedoms of SPEECH and\/or EXPRESSION?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
