"It seems to me that a mass psychosis is gripping this nation, and the country is simply going mad. Our culture continues to get more and more dumbed down, self-absorbed, self-serving, narcissistic, caustic, and a distinct attitude of "I've got mine, fuck everybody else" seems to be the pervasive order of the day. What has happened to us? What is WRONG?"

That's Reaganomics, friend-- trickle down voodoo economics, the homeless are campers, greed is good, out of my way American pride. The nation has been creeping (emphasis on creep) this direction for 25 years....

Reagan Bush Bush Quayle Clinton (the best Republican president ever) Gore BushCheneyCo. Sounds like you're old enough to have witnessed this.

Too bad the nation didn't consider Columbine a wake-up call, rather than an opportunity to impose lock-down conditions on our children.

With the story of Andy S. we could consider the insane hatred and fear that these perpetrators embody. What kind of person does such things? Very very sick. Unimaginable. That may give us more appreciation for the side we are on, and the power of love over hate.

Good luck. And next time someone looks at you funny, try smiling at them. That will REALLY blow them away. Might be the first real human being they've met all day.
