I've kept a blog for almost five years. In recent times, there hasn't been a lot about bipolar because I've been in remission for quite a while. Yesterday it was about how unfair it is that people are conflating gun violence with mental illness...Lord, I am SO sick of our culture blaming the mentally ill for evil acts. We're far more likely to be the
victim of a crime than a perpetrator, but the American public is intellectually lazy and needs easy answers, and they always go for the path of least resistance, as evidenced by the current mindset that MI people are all potential killers and all killers are mentally ill. Grrrrrrrrr!
