People ... They are odd, and strangly sad

It is signs like this that make me worry about people, is it the fact that a once outlaw is idolized? OK, that does have some bearing, but the first thing that creates concern for me is this sign which was in the town my work was based from in New Mexico. Is Authentic, really that large a word (that they need to explain in parentheses what it means?)
I guess maybe it is? But still I had to laugh every time I passed it.
Now moving on to the second point. Billy the kid was such a villain, that well, even today he is still behind bars (as you see in the picture below).

The next question is how does someone like Billy the Kid end up in fame when Its all said and done? He lived only to his early 20's was famed for his shootings of people. Even though question exist what is true, still the fact is interesting, why do humans esteem the most evil?
For instance Pirates. (I always wanted to be a pirate growing up.. Arr Shiver me Timbers) In fact Black Beards (Another famous corrupt man) ship was just found a few years ago off of North Carolina, now intense recovery of the ship is going forth.
But why are we so intrigued by such individuals? Thoughts?

I read that a while ago the FBI wanted to exhume his grave because they thought he faked his death by killing someone that looked like him. Either way, he's dead and he's more known than some previous presidents. America is odd.

Your staying up way too late 11:24 PM, go to bed earlier and such thoughts will not enter your mind.

And I contacted NASA, about me flying the next vehicle into a big rock... they find it a splendid idea.
