Intro...
"Sometimes I ain't so sho who's got
him a right to say a man is crazy and
when he ain't. Sometimes I think there ain't none of

none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him
that-a-way. It's like it
ain't so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the
majority of folks is
looking at him when he does it."
From As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner
