The Monday After

Good morning.

I've been trying to find the words to express my thoughts about Friday's tragical events. I haven't been able to find those words.

However, I have found two blogs where the writers have found all the right words. Please read them. Here they are.

 and
www.kunstler.com

These two writers, however vastly different their perspectives, are telling the truth about what happened on Friday in the United States of America.    And it will happen again, because people are not serious about their lives...they are hiding their heads in the sand, saying, "Thank God, that's none of my business,"--saying, "God just lemme forget and it will go away....,"---

I had a son with "serious" mental illness.  It was serious because he was miserable.  Thank God, he never became violent to others.  But God, why did he have to turn on himself?  Why couldnt someone bigger and stronger than himself just SAT on him until his confusion passed?

The psychiatrists to whom we entrust ourselves have all made pacts with the devil. Even the best psychiatrists Gregory ever had ended up signing deals with pharmaceutical companies, whereby they ran little "groups" mainly dedicate to the application and study of the effects of a certain drug. To see how it all played out.  In Greg's case it was tragic. I cannot bear to think about it even now.  And there are too many doors between the parent/caregiver of this patient and the actual facility or doctor who's doing the "care."  It's all screwy. 

Please read the two blogs I have sent.  Then think about it and tell the country via your emails and letters to the editor (if they still have them) to put forth your suggestions. YAZZYBEL
