Quote of the Day

The Madness of King George

"George W. Bush is ill . . . To quote Jung, a person in a position of power who has become dissociated like Bush 'even runs the grave risk of believing he has a Messianic mission, and forces tyrannous doctrines upon his fellow-beings.' He then believes that any action he desires is justified in the name of God, as he can rationalize it as being God's will. Unable to self-reflect, he is convinced of the rightness of his viewpoint, which he considers non-negotiable. This is a very dangerous situation, as Bush has become unconsciously identified with and possessed by the hero, or savior archetype." --Paul Levy, "The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis"
