Ever think you (or someone you have encountered) might be "Crazy" ?

Do you think about UFOs and Aliens? Think you see stuff in the sky? Had strange experiences not explainable by socially accepted conventions? Have "strange", ominous thoughts about cell phone towers, HAARP, and other Extremely Low Frequency transmissions beamed out to the atmosphere and over population centers? Ever consider that some groups might be lying when they proclaim that they are here to "serve you" and "act in your best interest"?
Has anyone ever suggested to you that because of such thoughts / experiences you might "have a Disease", or your "Brain Chemistry" is "out of Whack", or that you as an individual might exist outside of a bubble of socially accepted behavior generally termed "Normal" .. that the term "Sane" does not apply to you, even though you are just "living life" and trying your best to not hurt anyone else in the process?
If you can answer yes to any of those questions, I implore you to resist any urge to conform to someone else's will that you "Get a grip" and "Get your head out of the clouds". Humanity is killing itself through conformity. You can either blindly contribute to the destruction, or continue to exercise your free will in other directions. What can it hurt? We already have enough nuclear weapons to make this planet a very undesirable place. What's the harm in you entertaining your own consciousness? None. The only "harm" is perceived by those whose cherished dogmas are challenged by your openly talking about your consciousness experiments. They will try to convince you that they are acting in your "Best Interest" when they tell you to "Get Help." They might as well say, "Come back to my level. It is lonely in this pit. I don't even like you, but your presence down here is comforting. It's better than being alone."
Now I have a few questions for people who like to think that they are fairly "Normal".. or "Not Crazy", ie: "Relatively Sane" or even people who admit they are a little "Weird" but yet "Not in need of Professional Help"..
Have you ever looked at a modern city around bar time on a Sunday morning? Who are these people stumbling through the streets making all kinds of noise? Are they "The Sane" ?
What about the nicely dressed cell phone users hurtling down the highway in their new vehicles, making aggressive maneuvers at high speeds? What labels allow them to be socially accepted?
Or the calm drivers on their way to a "Peace Rally" and then a quiet dinner that has been doused with industrial waste then packaged and shipped thousands of miles to their plates? What justifies their existence outside of a laboratory experiment?
Are these people "OK", "Just Fine", "Healthy" and in possession of "correct brain chemistry" ?
Who is Normal? (provide examples please) Who is Sane? Does the state of being "Normal" include the state of being "Sane" ? Who possesses "Correct Brain Chemistry"? How can such a thing be demonstrated? How could equipment to test such a thing be devised unless we first knew what Correct Brain Chemistry was - and how could we know that without first having equipment to test for it?
Ever seen someone's yard full of rotting junk? Would you think that the person living there was "Normal"?
Ever looked at Fresh Kills landfill? If one person were singled out as being responsible for the site selection and filling of the dump, would you say they were "Sane"? What if a thousand people were pointed out as responsible for the pile of junk. Would they collectively be "Sane" ?
If I decide to approach you and say "You will give me 10% of all the money you earned this year, or I will arrest you, put you in jail and fine you for that money. I am entitled to do this because of a piece of paper written over two centuries ago and that neither of us have signed." - would you submit to me? Would you think I was just a tad "Crazy" ?
If me and 19 other people were to do this, does that add any more legitimacy to our claims on your earnings?
If several hundred thousand of us dressed up in suits and ties and did this to you every year would you decide that it was "just a fact of life" and give up your money?
Would you feel like you were still "mentally sound" after you gave us your money? Would you admit to yourself that you felt threatened, and that is why you submitted? Or would you say "..but they said they were going to use my money to repair roads and put up stop signs..therefore that justifies them taking without my consent. Yes, we should PUNISH everyone who doesn't want to contribute to putting up stop signs. I Am Not Crazy!."
What is the point of this post?

theres a man around town i sit and talk with occasionally, my intentions are to observe his mind, because he is crazy. he's on the cia conspiracy trip and would have me believe he works as a diplomat for the UN. yesterday he thought i was "elich" a russian spy, and he sat there and communicated "top secret" information to me (schizo rants) for hours all the while shouting at others who did not exist. i said..."you know, im not russian and my name isnt elich" he says..."its elidge" and continues his trip. he has gashes all over his body from where he's been removing "volcom darts" that the cia put into him.
there is such a thing as psychotic, and its fairly easy to recognize. theres also such a thing as parapsychotic and that is something many dont recognize. everyone iv ever met excluding maybe one or two i would call parapsychotic. delusional but still sound enough to be responsible for their decisions. crazy....but not insane. this is the world we live in.
transmuting kooky energy is somthing i believe to be a reoccuring theme in all our lives.

My friend once said, "I'm worried about you man. You seem so happy and nice all the time, I feel like you're on the brink of suicide or something." Think about that!
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I've been called crazy multiple times behind my back because of my drunken, high, trippy rants about the human mind/reality and how it works. I guess it scares people when I tell them, "sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven." and that "sometimes words have two meanings."
Maybe I am crazy, but hell, it entertains me.
-------------------- So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
