He was whacked out and delusional, seemingly incapable of separating reality from rhetoric and fantasy, which one social psychologist said over the weekend to be the mental state of about 1 in every 12 Americans – a low-ball number in my opinion.

Very low ball. Try 50%.

I spent a lot of time this morning reading through comments about the mass murder at different leftish websites. Almost no one made any connection to the violence we constantly export and excuse, the torture we either explicitly support or passively ignore. Phenomenal. A few brave souls (possibly early on, when not much was 'known' about the shooter or motives), asked whether this man were for sure motivated politically, and were attacked rather... vitriollically. A few blamed the culture of laissez-faire banking (huh?), but mostly Palin and Beck, et.al. Was it DF who asked why violent rhetoric can't be condemned in itself, without having to have some event like this serve as an object lesson?

I did read one series of linked comments asking if violent talk does influence those with broken minds, what horrific acts might come from the mryriad soldiers returning from combat after multiple tours with broken minds, and little help from the VA system? Many are involved in crimes (no mention of what sort), one in two I'd heard, signaling major distress. The new protocols for extended help for TBI requires a soldier to have been unconscious for at least 30 minutes to qualify. Is the Left clamoring for help for them from a Democratic VA?

I have to apologize in a way, Des; my brains are scrambled over all this. You mentioned a time when you thought things were getting better; I just can't remember those times now; instead, I hear a present Big Event (changing weekly), with a background murmur of ignored catastrophes, both foreign and domestic, playing in the background.

I often confuse Donal's comments with spam myself. And yes; these folks have turned to the Bible itself, they say, to calculate the dates. The Oct. 21 end of the world seems to indicate that the Tribulations will be mercifully short. Don't order Stuff from Amazon any later than Oct. 3, or upgrade to Overnight Express. We CAN know.

I'll take 3 Shakiras and a Jolly Roger aqueduct party. Call me in the morning.

And I'm confused, does this blow off our Mayan convergence for 2012? Too many end-of-the-world parties, not enough worlds.

"For what it's worth"

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

Psychotropic substances

My family used to own a ranch near Sonora that had the hetch hetchy aquaduct running under it...I had big plans to cater a real party for San Fran, til I realized it was like, coals to newcastle...

Maybe we'll actually learn something from this one, or not. There's a profound American dysfunction rampant at present which you chronicle quite well here. Psychotropic substances in the water supply might not be such a bad thing for a patient with this diagnosis. I appreciated your not including links in your writing.

THE RAPTURE WILL TAKE PLACE ON MAY 21, 2011, and that God will destroy this world on October 21, 2011. It was in tonight's paper, AP reporting. On the Faith Page. Forget containers; forget home foreclosures; forget your massive credit card debt! Enjoy food, enjoy sleep, enjoy tittilating music videos, and above all: DANCE!!!
