70. No, and I don't either. However, there are many "quiet" people suffering in silence.
Not unlike the Virginia Tech shooter, this guy is a loner and the dysfunctional signs are everywhere IF ONE is paying attention.

I know that "the needs of the service" comes first, but especially with people who have FEW FRIENDS and tend to isolate themselves ... well, we need a way to reach out to them.

It's always dangerous to stereotype, but far too often the person who lashes out and kills his co-workers is the "freak" and "loner."

That's why I encourage my daughter in high school NOT to make fun of those who are "different" ... it's a cruel world but even "odd ducks" should know that someone, somewhere ... some entity cares for them. Perhaps then they will not de-compensate and do such horrific acts? :shrug:
