On TV, people who are crazy always think the CIA is after them. They also hang newspaper clippings on their walls. If they're stalking someone, they have newspaper clippings on their walls and candles around them. But I wonder why crazy people always seem to think either that the CIA is after them or that they work for the CIA. Or the KGB.

I don't believe that the CIA actively recruits crazy people. I wouldn't know about the KGB. But if they both are, it would make sense that they are all so paranoid; because they go around spying on one another.

To go by TV, you would think that there was a standard diagnostic tool used by psychiatrists that consisted of three questions:

1) Do you have newspaper clippings hanging on your walls?

2) If you answered yes to Question 1, do you have candles around them?

3) Is the CIA or the KGB after you? Do you work for either organization?

This would be a helpful survey, I bet, unless someone actually did work for the CIA, which a lot of people on TV do, of course. And I suppose, if for whatever reason the CIA actually did have a reason to spy on a crazy homeless person, they would have no trouble doing it.
