It’s the last line that brought it all together. Once upon a time, the first groups would be called “cranks” with a good-natured wink. They’d write letters to the editor.

The most dramatic example of a crank must be the recently deceased Ted Kazinsky. Splintered into his terrible and tragic words of melancholy are predictions that pierce the vale. And it unsettles us that a madman might understand what our future lies better than we do.

Today... who knows?

...I mean, besides the Madman in the Woods.

Sorry -- MadMEN. Mustn’t forget Henry.
