I also don't believe we are crazy, even if some here get psychotic from time to time. Some people do live with strange ideas. I was in a psych one time with a man who swore he was Jesus come back to earth. Apparently, he was a long-term case.
My sister just finished doing a geneology on my maternal grandfather's side of the family. There was one family member who struffed corn cobs down all the chickens' throats, killing them, while the rest of the family was gone. He lived out his life in mental institutions, but I don't know that they really tried to help people like that then, in the 1930s and 1940s.
