But this does NOT explain why so many feel entitled to ruin other people's lives at the same time. Commit suicide if you must, but murder complete strangers in the process? That takes a special kind of entitlement.

Psychiatry is failing us big time if they can't devise a simple test for anyone who shouldn't wield a gun (including some cops and military).
