American Digest - WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary....:
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
— YEATS
Say I'm weary,
Say I am old,
Say that health has missed me,
But add----
Peggy kissed me!

A Short History of Mass Shootings in Outline by Thomas Wictor - American Digest
A Short History of Mass Shootings in Outline by Thomas Wictor - American Digest: The Secret Service report on mass killings for 2016-17 noted that 64% had mental illness problems.[https://mentalillnesspolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/secret_service_64_attacks_MI.pdf] The Parkland shooter talked about voices telling him to do that. The shooter in Aurora had been recognized by his psychiatrist as schizophrenic and dangerous, but Colorado law, like many states precluded hospitalization until the chalk marks were around the bodies. See http://www.claytoncramer.com/scholarly/ColoradoMentalHealthReform-1.pdf. Patrick Purdy, who started the assault weapons panic in 1989, was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic after many convictions for felonies plea bargained down to misdemeanors by the DA who eventually wrote California’s AW ban. There are many other examples such as the Virginia Tech mass murder.
