I think it's one of those questions that just doesn't have a good answer. I guess my rule of thumb would be functionality, can the person function in society.

Uncle Sunstone, I was hoping you'd drop by! From hanging around here I now associate the map/territory analogy with you . Do you think it is relevant to the idea of sanity?

Yes. It's very difficult to have a definitive answer.

True. However, a sociopath can function very well in society so we must broaden the scope again. Edit: Oooops, I meant narrow the scope.

First you have to define "sanity." :P

But really, yes. I would consider Nazi Germany insane.

Of course, I did say "my rule of thumb." From Wiki:
A rule of thumb is a principle with broad application that is not intended to be strictly accurate or reliable for every situation. It is an easily learned and easily applied procedure for approximately calculating or recalling some value, or for making some determination.
