Substitute "l" for the "cr" in crazy and that accounts for some of it. Someone I work with said he didn't have the background to understand in any detail what had gone wrong with Iraq, the legal issues in the torture bill, the deficit issues, and so on. But it was easy to see that letting one of your Congressmen mess around with kids was just plain wrong. Now, I think if he gave it any thought he could figure out most of the things he claims he can't understand, but he's right that "Letting one of your Congressmen mess around with kids" takes no effort to sort out. The light bulb goes on at once with that one. I think another angle on the torture thing is that we've taken "Because we don't do these things, we are the Good Guys", and turned it around to "Because we are the Good Guys, we can't really be doing these things."
