I realize that this note might get re-directed, but I couldn't help commenting on the news story that I read on the Yahoo website tonight, re: the Minn. school shootings. Those good old reporters positively "have to" mention in the lead paragraph that the shooter was taking an anti-depressant, namely Prozac, prior to the rampage. For once I can empathize with the drug manufacturers over this useless sensationalist garbage. I mean, the FDA has already mandated a black box warning on every AD about administering them to young people, so what is mentioning the shooter's taking of Prozac in the article intended to accomplish now? Am I missing something?
