"I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity"
- Edgar Allan Poe

I think all we've gotten so far is the really nice kiddy part of the ride. You know, the part with the cute mecha-tronic lions and elephants prancing about fake trees are shrubs. Then when we least expect it, the tunnel opens up into the broad sky, and we look down, realizing we're forty metres up at the apex of the ride. Then we scream in pure terror and fright. And it goes on for seemingly forever.

After all that,we'll realize we're still high up, this time at a previously unseen peak even higher than before.At that point, we go from hoping it'll end quickly to hoping it won't derail anytime soon.

"The statistics on sanity are that one out of every 4 Americans are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you."
- Rita Mae Brown
