A tale of two Noids (a pair o' noids)

I take joy in punishing the paranoid if they have proven themselves to be jerks.   How do you punish the paranoid...well...it's actually kind of hard not to.  I'm not saying that one shouldn't protect certain information.  It is when the desire to protect oneself surpasses the realistic expectations of a threat.  The problem is that the term 'Realistic' depends on the individual's perception of reality. 

Stupid by the pairs :   When two people get together in a couple, they communicate about their opinions on subjects.  Generally the couple reaches a consensus about what 'their' opinion is.  This is dangerous ground.  When the members of a couple are mutually askew in the same way...they can re-enforce a false belief .  This can manifest itself dysfunctionally in several ways.  Arrogance and Paranoia are two of those manifestations.  In some ways, a couple that isolates itself from having deep and respectful interaction with others is almost like an individual that isolates himself and experiences a certain degree of dementia.

The dummies in question?  :  Just a couple of small minds who now live in a small town.  Their relationship compounded their ignorance and a friend I loved drowned in a sea of illusion.
