Bad Moon Rising

Something has been going on with more than one of the people I know, because there has been a rash of weird behavior lately. I don’t know whether or not I buy into the idea that, at least psychologically, things like the moon have an effect on people’s personalities. I’m more inclined to believe that some people are just plain out bug-nuts, rather than giving them an out like “the moon made me do it…”

On the other hand, I think that there are definitely different types of weird behavior. Some are just eccentric- they do odd stuff, but it’s more along the lines of “collecting bootlegs of the TV show Quark” weird and not “hiding the babysitter in a crawlspace” weird.

Some people are just insane in the membrane, and should be locked up.

Others need a little discipline- either from within or (if they are weak minded) from some outside source. Those people, IF they get back on track, are usually the ones who end up with the best prognosis for a good life from there on…

Then there are those people who can pass for sane, but who have a side they hide from most people.

Those might be the more dangerous of the options, because anyone who can hide aberrant behavior REALLY well is usually capable of some off the chain forms of negative stuff…

The key is- figuring out which is which before you end up in the crawlspace.
