So to all those wackos out there - what makes you go and take out a bunch of fellow humans? Something that caused the train to go off the track is what many a highly paid pyschoanalyst will conclude. Circumstance, conditions, influence whatever you call it, to me it boils down to breakdown of a moral fibre that cannot distinguish right vs. wrong.
So this is what us huamns are capable of. We can land a robot on Mars millions of miles away - without having been there and yet we can come up with the idea to use a semi automatic weapon and take the life of unknown individuals even if it killed oneself in the process.
To all these disturbed souls I have an alternative. Try to focus on more annoying creatures that may be ripe for a trim. Pigeons, squirrels or geese come to mind. If you live in suburbia or near a large city as I do there is an overwhelming presence of these critters.

Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list. Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD - school f
