No, "City dwellers are all insane (sic)".  I thought that was clear. (Call it 
a title or call it a label.  Either seems to fit.)

No, 'perception of reality' probably hasn't got much relevance to
the original topic, but this wouldn't be the first time that a thread took 
a different turn, would it?  I was more interested in "coping" versus 
"insanity", and yes this could be easily be discussed elsewhere.

That is what I had assumed that you would say, though I had hoped for 
somewhat more stimulating commentary.

No, but then that wasn't the point and I've got no interest in re-writing
dictionaries.  

>This discussion has ceased to be relevant to this news group.
