Well, he may -not- have been "crazy for years". By all current accounts,
he was more or less "normal" -- good student, good grades, participated
in extracurricular activities like band.

Then he got on drugs and everything seemed to go down hill from there.

So maybe drugs is the answer to your "catalyst" question.

AT&T and Verizon deserve airwaves more than you do. This is a power
gram. There is tons of unused spectrum. Genachowski must be collared.

"Las Vegas — Federal Communications Commission chairman Julius
Genachowski reiterated his position that the U.S. faces a "spectrum
crunch" and said that if the agency gets the Congressional go-ahead it
could reclaim wireless spectrum from TV broadcasters and auction it
within two years.

Genachowski, in a speech at the Consumer Electronics Show here Friday,
said mobile broadband was critical to fueling the country's economic
growth and keeping it globally competitive.

"The consumer electronics industry is going wireless... We need to free
up more spectrum," Genachowski said. "Unleashing mobile spectrum is at
the top of the FCC's 2011 agenda."

He added, "We could be in a position, if Congress acts, to auction this
spectrum in the next year or two and get that on the market... Every day
we have a delay we'll have a cost to the U.S. in terms of our global
competitiveness."

He called wireless spectrum "the oxygen that sustains our mobile
devices," adding, "This invisible infrastructure is the backbone of a
growing percentage of our economy and our lives."

You just don't know that. Some "designer" drugs can cause organic
changes in the brain; witness "The Addict Who Froze" (or similar name)
on PBS several years ago. (a botched batch of a 'designer' drug killed a
certain type of brain cell, inducing a severe, incurable case of
Parkinson's in the "lucky" drug user).

1) He [Loughner] appeared to be a relatively clean-cut kid.
2) He started taking drugs.
3) Everything (grades, friends, social interactions, etc) went to hell
right after that.

Coincidence? NOT!

Then we need to screen people carefully when they wish to buy offensive

Fentanyl. That bad batch of Fentanyl led to some very important
neurological discoveries. Fentanyl is in the domain of the junkie.

Hippie drugs don't do that to people. How do you know when young Jared
started taking drugs?

Well, that's putting sort of a fine point on it. Who knows what drugs
Loughner was taking? I don't know. YOU don't know.

Hippie drugs don't do that to people.

a) You don't have a clue what drugs Loughner was taking, "hippie" or
otherwise.
b) Whatever he was taking, how do you know it wasn't contaminated,
adulterated or chemically botched up?

How do you know when young Jared started taking drugs?

From all the media reporting. He started out high school with good
grades, friends, extracurricular activities. So, according to his peers
and former friends, it would seem to be in Junior or Senior year of H.S.
that he experienced a major (down hill) change in his life style.

I certainly HOPE NOT, we have no rule by royalty in this country. The

Whatever transpires in the interim, a special election will need to be
held to elect someone to fill her office. However, whether she is brain
dead or not, do you really think anyone will notice a difference? I
mean, other than her family and friends?

Haven't all politicians only been reduced to bad jokes? Since they have

they be granted? NONE, in my book ...
