TCOTS: For many of us, the murders committed by Robert Lewis Dear in Colorado is just another scene in an ongoing marathon drama of acts of Madness occurring in America nearly every, single day.
From the Insanity [laced with a serial Inanity] coming out of the mouths of college students to the dangerous and deadly policies and actions [and inactions] of those in charge of the central government to the Hysterical shriekings of unhinged Feminists to… — well, you get the picture — one would not be wrong to label this epoch The Deranged Age.
Literally, Lunatics are roaming freely throughout the whole of this country, as Stacy McCain points out in another installment of his series, Crazy People Are Dangerous:
…Our society has been persuaded by liberals that the demented and deranged should never be criticized because criticism might hurt their feelings. Wackos and lunatics are very sensitive people, we are required to believe, and deserve our sympathy. We should never be afraid of these psychotic misfits, according to liberals who are eager to convince us that maladjusted loners are perfectly harmless. read more
I am TOO TOO often reminded of Robert Heinlein’s collected writings in either The Past Through Tomorrow, or in Expanded Universe, his Future History, where he lays out the timeline of his stories. One segment of that timeline is/was “The Crazy Years”.
“Considerable technical advance during this period, accompanied by a gradual deterioration of mores, orientation, and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade, and the interregnum.”

Thank you.
I’m not sure there are more psychos or if communications are just faster and more pervasive with the 24 hr news cycle and the interwebz. And I don’t know how you determine the extent of psychoses and neuroses in previous ages when it wasn’t reported and dwelt upon, as it is now. We also, today, have a general disregard for life that I think is more pervasive than in the past, though I am unable to prove that assertion.
55 Million slaughtered innocents seems to have inoculated us against revulsion at violence.
This Dear guy sure reminds me of Ted Kuzinski or whatever that hermit bomber’s name was.
Sanity, or no insanity – you can’t have my guns……..EVER!
