A lot of people seemed annoyed that in my post about Ranma Theory I 
implied that the Kunos were, to use a technical term, idiots. Now by a 
lot I actually mean two. More than one is considered a lot. Anyway some 
of the explanations for the unusual behavior of the Kunos included a) 
insanity and b) ignorance. If anyone else has any theories let me know, 
even if it's that aliens have taken control of Kuno's mind. 
I don't care. I probably won't even read them (Just kidding). So send me
your theories! Trust me when I say I don't have anything better to do. 
Kinda pathetic, huh?

	Ok, what's really established in the Manga is that that Tatewaki and Kodachi both have 
perceptions of reality that don't match reality itself.  Principal Kuno might be similar, but I 
think he knows reality and acts like a psycho because he likes it.  I guess that the Kuno's are one 
of the noble famlies that has been marying it's sisters for a while, and as a result the all have a 
very tenuous grip on reality, and a tendancy to obsess even more than what is considered normal in 
the Ranma universe.  Principal Kuno probably managed to strengthen his grip on reality with the 
help of training in Martial Arts Haircutting, however he developed a sadistic streak to take it's 
place.
	Of course if you crossed over the WOD with Ranma, the Kuno's would all be Silver Fang 
kinsfolk.  Or Malkovial ghouls.  Or just awakened marauders.  (If they were Sidhe suffering from 
Bedlam they'd be harder to humiliate.)
