Also, people can be persuaded to have, or already have, different
definitions of just what constitutes "crazy" behavior. Do you believe
that under the right circumstances, many (most?) people can be
persuaded to do just about anything under the guise of "sane" (read:
acceptable) behavior?

I know its bad nettiquette to cite a siggy, but this is misattributed.
When you hear this soundbite on HFS, its actually taken from the movie
"Pump Up the Volume" and its Christian Slater's character that says
this (or is it River Phoenix?  I dunno, always get those two mixed up
;-).  For what its worth, not a bad movie, despite the title...
