Calling The Criminally Insane Criminally Insane

EVERY FEW DAYS some american citizen with a semi automatic weapon walks into a place where people are gathered together, and opens fire, killing several or many of them. This has been occurring for several years. My introduction to this form of conduct was in the the mid nineteen sixties, when a mentally ill man ensconced himself in a tower on the Texas University campus in Austin, and killed, if memory serves, thirty one people below. I also recall in 1966 I believe it was when Richard Speck murder twelve student nurses with a knife in Chicago.. In recent decades and years, this pattern or behavior has increased in frequency, and now, in 2018, it has become a nearly weekly event. It can be argued that all of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes are criminally insane, in the sense that it is not possible to behave like this when lucid of mind. Meanwhile, President Trump and most republicans are placing greater importance and emphasis on a large group of desperate, homeless, hungry refugees from Central America who are walking towards the United States hoping to survive, calling it an "invasion". To classify it in that manner, while paying far less attention to the "invasion" of repeated mass murders from within the country by white, mostly right wing killers, arguably, is a form of criminal insanity, of incredibly misplaced priorities, delusional. There are other examples of criminal insanity evinced by the American conservative community, as stipulated by renowned Professor and dissident Noam Chomksy. Trump, and most conservatives deny the existence of global warming and climate change, for the obvious reason that to acknowledge it would inconvenience their world view, one in which all forms of capitalism, including current modes of industrial production, which are causing climate change, are too important and desirable to be abandoned and replace, To deny an obviously grave threat to humanity for the sake of personal ideology almost must, of necessity, be described as "criminally insane". What could possibly be more criminal, or crazy, than to pretend that the imminent destruction of the Earth's environment is not happening, merely for personal convenience? it is as if your house is burning down, with your family and possessions inside, because you failed to pay your home insurance premium, or because you prefer that it not be burning down, or because you wish to watch television, and the burning down of your house will deadly your television watching. Chomsky has described teh Republican as the greatest threat to human existence in human history, precisely for that reason; when one's criminal insanity threatens us all, as it does now but never has before, you and your ilk are indeed the greatest threat to human survival in the history of the world.
