Good question- why are all of these desperately unhappy people lashing out in violent ways? Didn't they used to just jump off of bridges? Or walk into the wilderness and not come back? Or drink themselves to death? Or quietly live lives of anguish- punishing their unfortunate families for the pain?

Yeah. Weren't those the good old days.

Still. Seems like a tidal change. Suddenly they lash out. Were they there all along, and something societal kept them under wraps? Or did they all view Taxi Driver and become liberated? Was it in the music? The water? The television? The internet?

Or is it that we are getting worse and worse at dealing with them in a constructive way and defusing the bomb, so to speak? Should we blame ourselves? Should we blame them? Should we blame God? Hello God, what the hell, dude?

There's your Sunday morning conundrum. Brought to you by events beyond my control.
