Oliver Douglas was the lead male character in the popular television series Green Acres which ran in the mid 1960’s for six seasons.  Mr. Douglas played a sharp common sense type who was surrounded quite literally by a village of idiots.  He felt like he was crazy, though, since he was surrounded by so many like minded individuals.  The real crazy’s of course were the lame brained out of touch fools running the town.  This of course led to many laughs and endless continuous frustration on his part.

I feel like Oliver Douglas everyday.  I wonder if maybe I’m the crazy one since I’m surrounded by a country full of like minded idiots, believing Barack Obama’s every word, following his every fly swat, and supporting his reckless policies.

Like Oliver, I’m continually frustrated because from my perspective the truth is so easy to find, the sense so common, the facts are not confused with feelings, and the outcome is so crystal clear.

I have Green Acres Syndrome.
