What the Bloody Hell is Wrong With People?

Never in my life have I deemed the extra 15% discount or free pair of socks worth the uncontrolled cart-ramming chaos of shopping on "Black Friday." It's fucking insane! PEOPLE are insane. There just isn't much else that needs to be said.

Please refer to the following articles for concrete evidence supporting my statement:

What the bloody hell is wrong with people? Jesus, if that's what people will do to get a deal on a damn HD t.v., we are all in big trouble when this looming depression really hits! We will need body armor and Uzis just to survive the government cheese line...

Who takes loaded guns to a toy store?

How much did the poor Wal-Mart guy get paid an hour? And did no one notice a body under their feet?

Beyond tragic... inexcusable, unexplainable, senseless, idiotic, disgusting...

Stop. Look. And Listen...

An intelligent and lovely friend of mine sent this to me... please watch and definitely listen.

Reprieve from anger...

Finally at least one bit of news I can mostly agree with...

An Interesting Read...

Thought I would share this article with the masses, as I have long theorized that our greatest contributors of art and science have been at least "different" if not considered "mad."

Take note of the discussion of "latent inhibition." I've attempted to explain this to people most of my life. This is why my mind has trouble remembering isolated facts or things of unimportance (in my mind's opinion of course). I tend to remember things in the whole, as experiences.

So, maybe I AM truly mad?!
