Do the pervasive political divisions with those who share your values drive you nuts? Are you that person to whom people go to for advice or to whom they tell the problems? Do you avoid rage porn because it only makes you feel bad about yourself? WELCOME TO THE SANITY PATROL The Sanity Patrol understands that when faced with the madness that has seeped into today\u2019s world, you just want some sanity and maybe you need help or reminders. The Sanity Patrol wants to help AND keep you amused. WTF is The Sanity Patrol? We are a group of sane people who live in reality \u2013 both our own and the one we share (hopefully those are less mutually exclusive than more). We are anchored in facts, science and history. The sovereign of The Sanity Patrol swings more to the left but welcomes opposing or different ideas because learning new input can reshape her opinions. Learn more About The Sanity Patrol \u00a0Do you qualify to be a Sanity Patroller? We each possess our own craziness (Z resembles this remark). But even the craziest can also be sane. Momentary aberrations, mistakes and failures are acceptable. Cleaning up messes you make even though that may not seem possible is necessary suckiness. Such is life. Here are some of the growing statements members make to themselves to retain membership. We are curious and willing to learn (and some of us are over-educated). We welcome disagreement that isn\u2019t fallacious or personal We either find a larger frame of reference whew differing opinions peacefully co-exist or simply accept the dialectic We are brave and not afraid of making mistakes and accept the consequences of those mistakes. We try to be decent, kind and honest, and acknowledge when we aren\u2019t. We recognize we are in precarious times and want everyone to win but not at the expense of others. We listen because we are curious about how and why others think the way they do. We want to make the world a better place Get interactive Z RANTS is a message board of engagement. Z is opinionated and loves disagreement.So she rants and sometimes she trolls. When you join The Sanity Patrol, you\u2019ll be able to rant back. However, like she says, she\u2019ll likely call out fallacies of logic with a fallacious meme (available for your personal use at Memes). However, if you engage her in an intelligent debate, she will replace snark with facts, cites and research. Join here for free. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 FREE MEMBERSHIP Each Sanity Patroller who is a member of The Sanity Patrol will: *be able to comment on Z Rants *receive periodic notifications of new goodies (maybe bi-monthly) to download freebies or to purchase new merch Free Downloads The Sanity Patrol Self-Assessments Even if you meet The Sanity Patrol criteria, consider taking an assessment or three.
