Well I agree with Christine about Littleton. What she said certainly doesn't seem sick to me. People want to make a martyr out of one of the many dead. Seems foolish and sad to separate out one of the dead as a better corpse than any of the other corpses. Who is to say they wouldn't have shot her no matter what she said? No one can say that. It is yet more irrationality, and good for Christine for pointing it out- I have seen precious little rational discussion of the events in Littleton. Lots of outrageous reactionary rhetoric, lots of gnashing teeth and wringing hands, but very little sensible discussion.

And I never understood the need to take one victim of a tragedy out and make them bigger and better than everyone else- I seem to recall that happened in the Oklahoma bombing where the mother of the little baby blown up in the daycare center got way more attention than anyone else (and some of the other survivors were jealous- and rightly so.) The news media and the neediness of people to be told good stories creates these "events".

As for you being mentally ill- I don't know you well enough to judge. You are certainly irrational, dogmatic, and lacking in debating skills, but as for being mentally ill I would hate to comment one way or the other.
