This almost seems to coincide with the concept of a 'Catch-22.' If you think you're insane, you're obviously not, because an insane person wouldn't know it! And whatever you do, don't throw politics into the mix, unless you really want to talk about insanity . . . !

I think it's possible that we're all a bit insane, that life itself is
a drive through crazy town.
As for the one you refer to as W.H.Amateur - I know you've considered that his
advisors are savvy old battle-scarred veterans who know the lay of the land, the
art of attracting money. No man is an island.

i do not believe that religious people or cannibals are insane. but i do believe that when anyone thinks that killing (murder) is honorable or a way to solve problems, yes, i believe they are insane. there have been studies done that show there is a difference in the brain of a serial killer and a human that does not kill others.
it may not have looked insane in the 7th century or whenever, but just because ones ancestors did terrible things does not make it ok in the 21st century. and we should not give them that excuse.
are we afraid to correct these individuals that are acting insane, just like we are becoming afraid to correct our children?

You do a great job at explaing why they are not insane.

I don't like to put people into boxes even though basically I agree with this post. There are some Monsters who are insane, but monstrous deeds don't necessarily mean insanity!

I agree whole heartedly with you about the insanity; however, I do not believe in nearly as much sanity as you may.
