Maybe paranoia is manifesting through a lot of people in the world for a very good reason.
A few years ago the exhaust under my automobile was knocked loose. I could have chosen to fix this unfortunate event by using duck-tape and covering up or masking the problem, only leading to further events later down the road.
SSIR's have become the duck tape for our collective issues. They have been indoctrinated into our culture as the normal way to approach healing alabeledg labled as a disorder by the same people feeding us the supposed cure.
All the while we are the ones truly paying the price for what amounts to be some very pricey duck-tape.

Yeah, no you doing a half-assed job on your exhaust is not the same as the heavily regulated drug industry.
I and the people around me feel the benefits of an SSRI each and every day.
The term psychiatry is derived from the Greek words psyche, meaning “mind” or “soul,” and iatreia, meaning “healing.”

Well one things for sure, there's a lot of very paranoid people in the world....
But not those folk who don't take any of those evil drugs prescribed by evil doctors (most evil people on the planet) made by evil drugs companies helped by evil governments though, they're definitely not paranoid.

It's pretty easy to think that way when you have not gone through the healthcare system and the way you are treated and handled yourself or at least know of somebody close to you that has. It's easy to not see evil...when you don't see evil.
Just because you don't believe it doesn't make it untrue. You just haven't experienced it clearly.edit on 27-12-2012 by unb3k44n7 because: (no reason given)

The only question I have is why is this not happening on such a frequent basis in other countries...unless they just don't push those drugs as much as the US does? Why is it happening on almost what seems like a bi-weekly basis in the US...LATELY, particularly since July? It seems too contrived to me.

Well, the use of such drugs, if they are not so widely used in other places as here, would be a pretty good reason. Personally, I think we simply don't hear about all of the terrible things that happen all over the world, unless there is some reason that the media wants us to hear about them. Many places in Africa, there are atrocities far worse than this latest one, on a daily basis, and we don't hear about those, save now and then. Some places, the governments commit atrocities, and we might hear about some, but you can be there are many more hat don't make the evening news.
Finally, I think that here, they push such stories to the forefront, when it suits them, and ignore them when it doesn't. Only a couple f the recent ones had more than a handful of deaths, but we still see a "shooter story of the week", or even bi-weekly. I am sure that, if we had all the data, we would see many cases similar to some of these, where 1-3 people were shot, maybe killed, but the media didn't push those cases. Yet, recently, I have read about more than one where literally no one was hurt, but the story was thrown around as significant, and compared to the serious cases. There is a definite agenda in play regarding these things.
If there is a conspiracy involving these drugs, I think it is to keep people so "spaced out" and "numb" they will not question what is going on around them, and will become so emotionally detached that when things do happen they do not react.
Last year, the AP reported that trace amounts of a wide range of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in American drinking water supplies. Including recent findings in Dallas, Cleveland and Maryland's Prince George's and Montgomery counties, pharmaceuticals have been detected in the drinking water of at least 51 million Americans.
Most cities and water providers still do not test. Some scientists say that wherever researchers look, they will find pharma-tainted water.
