I've been wondering if anyone had done a study comparing the incidence
and frequency of people going postal with the emergence of lyme
disease. By going postal, I mean a guy gets pissed off, gets a bunch of
guns and goes apeshit. I would include individuals who commit multiple
homicide shooting sprees pretty much on impulse. Has the incidence
increased since the mid 70's? When the guy at Texas in 1960's killed
all those people from the clocktower, they later found a glioblastoma
multiforme tumor the size of a walnut compressing one amygdala of his
brain. He left notes asking for an autopsy to determine the cause of
his severe headaches and his uncontrolled impulse to kill people. Of
course he had previously seen a doctor for these problems and they sent
him to a psychiatrist. I guess some things never change.
      I wonder if any of our recent postals have felt ill, fatigued,
etc. before going crazy. Maybe they get sick with LD, mess up their
jobs, get fired, and then freak out and kill in blind rage. Maybe not.
Who knows. Just wondering. Is there an epidemic of people going postal
in the US? If so,what might be contributing to it?
