Rant: We don't need quality mental health services - sarcasm
I just got done watching CNN Headline News reporting about the young man who shot up the school in MN. He was obviously mentally disturbed, unless you're a freeper who believes in demon possession. Of course, even with the best panoply of mental health services available, he may have still committed this heinous act. I do think, however, that part of the reason for the sporadic outbreaks of senseless violence has to do with the funding cuts for mental health seen over the past 25 years. The FEDERAL and state governments also need to do more to de-stigmatize accessing MH services. Ok, now I feel better. What an awful thing to happen in MN.

2. But at least we're spending time on Terri Schiavo!
Who cares about everyone else?
