REallY? Ya Think? NONE of this is normal! We haven't been close to normal for a long, long f*ing time! We are so far from normal we might as well be in the Twilight Zone. We need to come up with another phrase for how f*cked up things are, how dangerous, how far over the cliff we have come. "This is not normal is so cliche, such an understatement it's horrifying.
