Maybe we should be spending a little more time figuring out why people do these things instead of simply trying to put everything that could be used as a weapon on a high shelf. This is similar to the way we are handling airline security. Instead of targeting terrorists, we target the last weapon they came up with. That does absolutely nothing to stop the next weapon. Guns are designed to kill. Box cutters are designed to open boxes. Ammonium Nitrate was designed to be fertilizer. What's your point? Something that's sole purpose in design is killing vs. anything else. Not true. I have many guns and I am a target shooter. Target shooting came to pass as a means to practice, in order to be a better shot. That it became sport doesn't alter the fact that the vast majority of guns are designed to kill. Target practice is a good thing, you learn to hit what you intended to hit rather than spraying bullets all over the place. |

This is a country with very little in the way of decent public mental health services. That's because the practitioners are mostly quacks who know little of the workings of a human mind. |

The DSM is just a method for ensuring that the conditions in vogue are considered to be diseases and therefore, fall under in-plan. "By design, the DSM is primarily concerned with the signs and symptoms of mental disorders, rather than the underlying causes. It claims to collect them together based on statistical or clinical patterns. As such, it has been compared to a naturalist?s field guide to birds, with similar advantages and disadvantages." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnos...nual_of_Mental _Disorders#Superficial_symptoms |

Or they got their degree from a third rate diploma mill in DC! |

Does your continuous self righteousness in a boating newsgroup help solve the problem? |

They finally wrote a book about Krause. |
