It's always some one else's fault. However, even nuts sometimes know things worth exploring. The haste of his execution certainly leaves open a lot of uncertainty. What's the hurry?

The fact that McVeigh was able to construct and elaborate intellectual scheme to justify the rather unsophisticated mechanisms of the USPS for delivering harm to others other than himself (per anthrax delivery) is indicative of such externalization. <BR/><BR/>The schizophrenic material of which his mind was reported to contain is indicative of reasons why his behavior and innate abilities lacked sufficient competence to achieve more constructive ends. The refusal to deny that one self is an absolute fool, nitwit, incompetent, and isolate ignored by those of influence is rarely mirrored with happiness or health. <BR/><BR/>To remove one self from the obvious requires extraordinary efforts to externalize and blame others; if faithfully believed these result in sufficient commitment to the philosophy of self protection which in turn may require self selective action. It is ponderously curious that McVeigh chose such a violent act on the American psyche albeit through such removed and cowardly mechanisms. <BR/><BR/>It appears that it Freud was right in that we are always trying to avoid the original state while simultaneously, repetitively, and compulsively returning to it in an effort to elude ourselves of its actuality (via externalization, etc). The disharmonious achievement of both self-abnegation and externalization of blame is indicative of an unsustainable and thus self-destructive entropic field. Only self deluded narcissism could sustain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
