Lunacy Part II?

Last month when the super moon rolled by in the heavens we experienced an up tick in craziness around the world. We had the SCOTUS making idiotic decisions, the House suing the President, Ukraine shooting a plane down,  and the Israelis were just starting the assault in the Gaza Strip.

Well the moon is full (and super) and once again the craziness is back (or may be it never left us). The POTUS has decided to start bombing in Iraq, cops are shooting unarmed children in the streets, and everyone is obsessed with dumping ice water over there heads and challenging others to join in this bizarre ritual of merriment in hopes of raising awareness (and money) for Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS for the younger generation). All while we have drought in California and people are being denied access to water in Detroit.

Other lunacy continues with the legislature taking a 5 week vacation after getting nothing done for the past 4 years, the apartheid and genocide continues in the Gaza Strip.

But here is the real madness of the day after the super moon, a true genius and legend in his field, took his own life. I have to assume it was depression and/or mental illness. As much as we care for one another and promise that we will give to charities for buckets of ice water, we still have not done anything for the people that are mentally ill in this country or the world for that matter. We still are more concerned with gun rights, religious rights, and paying less taxes, then we are for caring for each other.

Mr. Robin Williams, you checked out too early, you didn't finish the game, but you gave so much and we will always be thankful for that.
