This just happened to be my first one and it came fast with a vengeance, but no headache or pain, just the visual scatteredness, then confusion and the nervousness chatter of what the heck is going on here followed by a rather dizzy spell that left me confused and a bit shaken to say it true! My sister found the link to this page as I was describing what was going on and I will say...thanks Dan for your input on this rather wild subject!

Thank you, also, for allowing validation for those across the spectrum: different people feel that a different balance is correct, and I appreciate that your analysis leaves moral room for people across the spectrum to support and encourage the balance they feel fits best.

Terrorism is not about killing people or winning tactical victories; it is about creating fear in people that they are powerless and their governments are incapable of helping them. Terrorists major aim is often bringing about this king of over-the-top response from government security apparatuses. I felt that the lock-down was a terrible choice. The bombers effectively paralyzed a city with fear, which the government only exacerbated. Dan, that codifies a lot of my own thoughts on this topic.

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:35:18 +0000 http://www.fearfulsymmetry.net/?p=2002#comment-451622 Thank you for this thoughtful post. Questions like this need to be asked, not just now, but always. I think part of that includes not thought-shaming each other. It's become par for the course for us to call each other idiots or nutjobs or whackos because of our differing opinions. If we can't respect those who think differently than us, and don't make a genuine effort to understand those viewpoints, how will we grow? How will we ever progress toward answering the important questions? Thank you for this thoughtful post. Questions like this need to be asked, not just now, but always.

An "open source" fan fic universe sounds like a concept that at least deserves a chance. Pledged and shared. I’m in.

]]> Comment on Mental Health Care, Mass Murder, and So On by Lacey Taylor http://www.fearfulsymmetry.net/?p=1916&cpage=1#comment-445644 Lacey Taylor Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:12:06 +0000 http://www.fearfulsymmetry.net/?p=1916#comment-445644 Hello Dan, it's do strange to have stumbled across your words here today. I went through Columbine as a young person. When they started taking away lockers. I posted a comment on my own Facebook that is very similar to yours here. I attend college full time. I can honestly say that there are times I'm scared to go to school. security could be tighter on campus, but that to me is irrelevant. Schools should have advocates that work with a limited amount of students. Checking in so to speak with their progress and emotional well being. The problem with mental illness is that ask of these people who are not suffering, label those who are as "evil" or pretend it doesn't exist entirely. The more a person suffering sees this, the less likely they are to get help. That makes the problem worse. An above statement says that no one knows how the antipsycotics work? Trust me, they do. I'm not going to sit here and explain it. I wish we did have a better mental health care system. It would save more lives than a background check. People just want simple answers. Sometimes the answers are not so simple. Hello Dan, it’s do strange to have stumbled across your words here today. I went through Columbine as a young person. When they started taking away lockers.
