6. But that is exactly what it is... 12 yr. old logic.

Try 6 yr. old logic.

If your entire worth and intellect is saturated with magical thinking, there is a point where you become invincible because the end does not end here with your last stand and the end of your existence. There is the greater beyond that you think you are a part of, a cog of a great machine that is bigger and grander. Therefore, you cannot really be harmed. You go on, your belief system carries you to ... wherever... and you go down in American history as a martyr, a saint, a patriot.

That is the sociopathic problem. There is no logic. Don't expect any.

edit: to add.... Case and point... GWB says to his critics concerning Iraq etc., "History will exonerate me."

Bye, bye, responsibility, and he sleeps so soundly at night.
