Madness and Civilization

Ummm... What's the difference? Who are we to think we're so smart? Who gave us the God (always male) who told us that? How's it workin' out for you thinkin' 'bout “unalienable rights”? Or thinkin' 'bout how you're gonna pay your bills when your salary's frozen but the price of food and gasoline isn't? Age old, I'm told. Believe it's time to get bold. And take it to the streets.... no matter how crazy it looks.

Those two words almost appear synonymous at times. Good write Nancy.
