Halluciations. I already brought up the Son of Sam serial killer, who got his marching orders from his neighbor's doberman pinscher, so that qualifies as both insane and hallucinatory. But who am I to argue with a guard dog? That's just a case of djuno where x4 is a belief system shared by a looney and a mutt. It's not "objective", it didn't stand up in court, and I don't buy it myself, but he experienced those conversations with that dog. ----- "The trees are green, since green is good for the eyes". I agreed with him, and added, that God had created cattle, since beef soups strengthen man; that he created the donkey, so that it might give man something with which to compare himself; and he had created man, to eat beef soup and not be a donkey.
