They can't handle the truth
By Libby
Most of you probably saw the video that going around a few days ago where Montel Williams refused to talk about the death of that actor Heath something. He told the hosts the media should be focusing on our war dead and issues and stuff instead of endless celebrity gossip. In case you missed it, Wetmachine has the video, but John also caught this bit of info that I missed.

Three minutes into this awkward segment on Fox, one host cut off Montel in order to go to a commercial. Montel did not return after the break. Four days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job.I predict no one on Fox will ever so much as utter his name again, unless he dies of a drug overdose of course.

Sometimes people just go nuts. They used to call schizophrenia "dementia praecox" because it seemed to occur so frequently just around puberty. Even normal kids like (ahem) I was, are pretty flaky in their teens and if one's inner murderer is to come out, that's too often when it happens. That's often when depression strikes, the voices speak up, and sometimes the medicine with its side effects is administered.
One can argue forever about the merits and dangers of legal gun ownership, but the outcomes seem to be dependent on independent factors and doctrines don't seem to explain much, but I think we can agree that allowing one's children unsupervised access to firearms is really stupid and rightly judged criminal. And as any parent knows, kids can find a way into anything short of Fort Knox.
I think I agree with Brian that there is something sick and violent in American culture, but I don't think it helps that we have so little access to mental health care for the less than affluent and a prison system and even a school system that turns out people so unfit for civilization.
Oops! No, I'm not off my rocker - this comment should have been attached to the subsequent post!
