It is worse. They not only kill themselves in their tantrum, they have the childish petulence to kill others first.

I wish they would get on to the bottom line first, if they are determined to ultimately deprive us of their worldly presence.

That said, a tremendous number of these poor slobs are medicated with some psychoactive drugs, and I frequently wonder if the drugs are not a contributing factor.

There are those who assert that the drugs help these people (although they commonly are the same folks who prescribe the pharmacology to begin with), but imho, you can't get your head straight by filling it with a bunch of chemicals.

I know a couple of folks who tried that on their own back when, and may have crossed that fine line between mind expansion and simple dissemination...

Yes, you are correct in some aspects, but ya know some people aren't on drugs and are just plan pissed at the world for their own miserable existence.

It's just a damn shame these psychos have to take innocent lives down with him.

Perhaps it’s the other way around. The madness and evil intentions were contributing factors. They were perhaps prescribed drugs in an effort to address, at least, the organic part of the problem. Lots of folks are medically mismanaged. That is a very good point. However, some folks also get themselves and others in dangerous situations because they ARE NOT taking their meds.

Where there is profit to be made caution is the watchword of the wise. Once again though, I have witnessed first hand in my family and friends the Godsend some psychiatric medications can have on suffering individuals. but imho, you can't get your head straight by filling it with a bunch of chemicals. It really does depend on the medication. Psychiatric medications are not the silver bullet for all people and should not be relied on as a singular treatment, but they do help some people with organic imbalances.

* smile * Yes, recreational drug use and medically appropriate drug use are definitely on different sides of that line.
