In my mind that wasn't road rage. It was murder.


It turns out there is a lot more to this than we heard originally.
These were not strangers shooting it out. They knew each other.
I'm sure we will see some mumbo jumbo insanity defense before it is
over. Nobody is responsible for anything these days. They just buy a
doctor's opinion that they must have had a bad childhood and we have
to give them a pass.



I am of the opinion (and I have no idea if it applies in this case) that
the medical and psychiatric communities have become too quick to
diagnose "clinical depression" or "bi-polar" conditions in young people
today. They prescribe anti-depressants or "Happy Pills" in order to
take the edge off feelings of disappointment or failure. When the pills
run out or are no longer effective some bizarre behavior can result.

Our generation (I assume most here are approx 55 or olde) grew up with
problems, depression, and failures. "Depression" and "Bi-polar"
conditions were known but reserved for extreme cases. We had to learn
to accept disappointments, get over failures and deal with bouts of
being depressed without taking pills to alter our thought process ...
and we didn't become dependent on them to live our lives.


The upcoming generations have a lot less to be hopeful about. I'm not
surprised that they rely on drugs to move forward.



Bull****. That's like saying you didn't do as well in history classes
as your grandparents because you had more history to learn.


No it isn't. It's more like mommy and daddy gave them more stuff and
didn't teach them how to get it on their own.

You should have bought Harrys .357. He sold it for a fair price, and you could have gotten a discount off that.

I agree 100%. When you look at how much money doctors take from drug
reps, it is not surprising that they come up with a pill for anything
that ails you and in some cases things you didn't think you had at
all.

They advertise the symptoms you need for the type pill they want to sell.
