Unfortunately, it may one day require violence just to stay safe, then sanity will be a toss up.

Yes! And it's a very wise idea to have at least 1 friend who you can go to for "check-in" to make sure you are sane, and you them.

Yes - and not always as easy as it sounds.

What does it mean to stay "sane?" Not follow group-think? Stay away from the trends? Go the opposite direction of the masses? Resist government mandates? Not pay taxes? Avoid religions? Become religious?

We live in an insane world and it is becoming harder and harder to understand what sanity is anymore.

Insanity.

When a group of people want to live outside the norms of the society they live in, for example the Constitution, they either pack up and leave or just shut up and go with the flow. I like the term abberant behavior to describe the insanity, behavior outside of the norm.

All good questions, Cankerpuss. Just imo, I'd answer: yes, yes, yes, yes, FAFO, do what you feel best, ditto.
