| 14. Yesterday's events make it clear that there's much more that needs to be done |
 |
with regard to making help available to people who suffer from mental illnesses...especially to make people aware that there is no shame in seeking help.
Mental illnesses are diseases...NOT character flaws! Droopy, I hope you can take a little time to express your experience and views to the media. Many radio and TV news shows are seeking comments on this tragedy. I think yours would be most valuable.  Thank you for all that you do! |

I cringe every time they describe people who do things like this as "loners" |

|
And sometimes "loners" are people that nobody ever bothered to get to know... |
