What…are people crazy?  That’s the recurring question my co-workers and I keep wondering aloud.  With the insane cases we’ve been hearing about in the news lately and then other stories of beyond naive questions folks ask, ones where the answers are so elementary as to make one wonder if the asker is serious, we’re left wondering what’s up. 
My office co-workers and I ponder the possibility that many fail to take the necessary time to think things through before acting or saying things.  We also wonder if common sense has somehow eluded many.  Or is it that we over think things?  That we are somehow able to sort through things better than others?
Recent media cases, involving the mother cleared of murder charges of her child and also the disgruntled woman, caught in the middle of divorcing her husband, cause my co-workers and I to wonder who’s walking amongst us in our day-to-day lives.  Is it possible to really know a person?  What they’re capable of?
Concerning the case where the mother was cleared of murder charges, many have come forward, stating they thought she was an exemplary mother—the best.  That they couldn’t conceive that the mother committed the crime.  And when it comes to the disgruntled wife, caught in the middle of a divorce…well…I don’t even know where to begin with that.  Is there a good starting point?  Or is this one of those cases where we just have to come to terms with the fact that some people aren’t playing with a full deck?
What it all comes down to is, what…are people crazy?
