“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

If you jailed all the crooked politicians , government would grind to a halt.
Which might not be such a bad thing, come to think of it.

It’s not paranoia when you have a rational reason to be afraid.

If you aren’t paranoid, you don’t understand the situation. Read Project 2025.

Crime is actually down, in spite of Trump’s efforts to commit as much as possible.
