I have no problem at all voting for crazy people. This is essentially because a stopped clock is right twice a day, where a lying clock, programmed intentionally to deceive and exploit you, is never right.
So when the choice is between crazy and evil, which is the best choice I have ever seen on a ballot without my own name on it, voting for the nutcase is the easy choice.
So please vote crazy for City Council, because right twice a day is the best we are likely to see on an Asheville or Weaverville ballot.

That’s a good comparison, Ditmore. We understand your point vividly.

…but what IF crazy and evil turn out to be the same ?
It takes too much intelligence to formulate a consistently evil policy for any crazy person to do it. Nutters lack the consistency needed to avoid making an occasional right decision.

They are mutually exclusive because consistent evil requires stability and intelligence. Otherwise they might do something right by accident. Like Kim Roney.

Aaaww, c’mon…..I got a good chuckle from that one. He has a certain – ahem – timely logic.

Alan, you’re gonna have to be more specific. Who’s crazy & who’s evil in this campaign? Edumacated voters need to know…
since writing this I have actually realize both black women, Dee Williams and Seneika Smith, might actually be right more than twice a day. Kim Ronan appears to be right about twice a day, the others are almost never right.

Lee is evil, not crazy.
