It appears Prozac helps brain cells become plastic . . .

. . . unwrapping the individual's indoctrinated inhibitions needed for a moral benevolent society. Beware!

Figuratively speaking, the history of mass shootings is contiguous with that of the beginning and upsweep of psychoactive "magic bullet" drugs, particularly the antidepressants like tricyclic or SSRIs, of which Prozac is an outstanding example. Te time of the antitubercular derivatives was coincident with the Texas Tower shootings in the 1950s.

A history of Prozac can be read here: "The Story of Prozac: A Landmark Drug in Psychiatry"(click here). This narrative includes the statement "The search for a drug specifically targeting depression began with the work of the pioneering psychopharmacologist Nathan S. Kline in the 1950s" (underline added).

It was at the time of the experimental trials of fluoxetine (Prozac) in the 1960s that a wholly unexpected event happened with an otherwise very talented youth undergoing suicidal thoughts, erupted in Olean, New York with Anthony Barbaro(click here) during the Christmastime closure (1074) of his high school, anothe of the early mass shootings that turned out to be the hint of a long wave of more to come.

What I've remarked in the years studying the social effects of these psychoactive drugs is that often a freeing of the libido, with an effect of breaking the bonds of inhibitions acquired from the culture and its training of the interpersonal peace-keeping behaviors, has loosed Satan's demons into a previously moral society.

So beware of the anecdotal interpretation that this article might confer to the reader, that one outcome of the use of fluoxetinr-like drugs might be a good thing without a minatory shadow looming over it.

I feel that the massive ingestion of these inhibition-loosing drugs, worse than the similar consequences of ethanol toxin, have turned the whole world of wrong-thinkink killers on the society who for its sins need a Savior.

I think it might be wise for someone with proper statistical research tools should compare how many of the conservative (to me) "right-thinking" (with the emphasis on "right" with its consequent "compassionte" sense) as compared to the segment of our society that wants to violate, with their infantile hedonistic ways, every sensible rule of behavior lawfully imposed by nature and natures God under our Declaration of Independence (life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness) and Amended Constitution.

There are other, better ways of retraining the brain than drugs with NASTY side effects.
