[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 400393, member: 3419"] Gcvmom and Runaway, yes, my daughter and I were talking yesterday about mental illness, violence and politics, and we definitely agree that inflammatory comments by politicians, for ex., cannot be weighted that much with-accountability for unstable actions, or else we would have seen a slew of mentally ill people flying planes into bldgs (there was one last yr, a small plane, by a guy with-a tax grudge) or just going in and shooting people on radio shows. ANY inflammatory phrase can trigger psychosis if the mind is ready for it. In fact, it doesn't have to be an inflammatory phrase. Several yrs ago, a woman who was the garage guard downtown Hampton, VA, noticed a man behaving oddly and she smiled and asked, "Are you all right?" She was shot and killed because she was NICE to him. I think there are as many exceptions to the rules as there are dxes, but certain personalities are drawn to certain events or ideas, such as conspiracy theories. I'm sure a psychologist or psychiatrist could explain why, but mostly, because that sort of environment feeds into an already existing paranoia. [/QUOTE]
