14. 50% of the country is on anti-depressants, and there are side affects to those!

We definitely have a collective mental disorder, look at the people we are allowing to run the country, the world!

People say this is not related to politics, how can we not notice that the top 1% are sociopaths and greedy hoarders and they are causing the deaths and destruction of millions of people's lives in their insatiable need for more more more.

The economic 'leaders', the people with vast amounts of wealth who gain their happiness by watching other's suffer CLEARLY have a mental illness which is harming everyone and I question the sanity of millions of people that allow that kind of mentally deranged evil manipulative ill gotten power go unchecked.

They are throwing elderly handicapped people out of their homes with illegal foreclosure paperwork, employing child molesting priests at the TSA to grope your granny at the airport, threatening to cut off the social safety net having raided the trust fund for wars they lied about and tax cuts meanwhile lying/calling for more war....

...and Americans keep on accepting it. I mean if you look at the big picture, this whole country is one big Insane Asylum.
