dr. Thomas Szasz wrote about it in his 1961 book, "The Myth of Mental Illness."

Maybe everyone forgot about him and this writer is piggybacking him.

on multiple occasions I have been adjudged to be less than sane, but for my purposes most of the time I am sane.

thank you my friend :) Image on WP, it is within my purposes so most of the time I can appear closer to sane here. :) when I have to go into town on the weekend to get groceries, I put on my sane face and tuck my pony tail in and shop and hide mostly in plain sight at least in my mind, at least as much as a 6'3" ponytailed man can hide. my sane face only lasts for a relatively short while so I can't gracefully stay out too long, so I have to retreat to the tin can to recharge my batteries.
