If people indeed went “temporarily insane,” the resulting madness-induced acts would fall randomly along the moral spectrum, spanning from the altruistic: “It was weird, I went out and raked the leaves of all my neighbors, most of whom I can’t stand to begin with. I don’t know why I did it. I guess I just went temporarily insane!”
To the innocuous:
“It was weird, I went to the store and bought as many Vlasic pickle jars as I could find, then laid the pickles out end to end from my bathroom door all the way to the nearest Chuck E Cheese pizza parlor. I don’t know why I did it. I guess I just went temporarily insane!”
To of course the outright evil:
“It was weird. I grabbed one of my five AK-47s, sprinted from my cabin, went into town and killed all those people. I don’t know why I did it. I guess I just went temporarily insane!”
Alas, the acts induced by “temporary insanity,” without fail, always fall into this final category.
I rest my case.
