[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2531247, member: 9374"] Our problem is myraid. We are way too prosperous. Too much excess, too much instant gratification, too little hard work, too little actual hardship. Too much "me" and too much entitlement philosophy. Too little actual real help for mental problems. Wide access to firearms, yes, but those are a vehicle to vent the frustrations. Let's face it, if every gun in the US simply vanished, does anyone with the intelligence and honesty to be real actually believe all these homicidal/suicidal whackadoos would simply cease being homicidal/suicidal whackadoos? I don't believe so. Not by a long shot. Simply throwing meds at people with mental health problems isn't going to fix any of it. The treatment for many of these mental health disorders should be multi-disciplinary, and it should be long-term, and it should focus on skills and coping mechanisms and analysis and just simple LIFE. In other words, all the stuff parents were supposed to be doing all these years. Instead, it's going to be up to .gov to take over that largest of industries, and they're going to **** it up royally while dumping gazillions into it... which is what the .gov does to every industry it touches.
