I saw this photo and just thought how true it is. I think a lot of us underestimate the impact that average people have on the health of the earth.

What has been going on lately?
Recently, there have some pretty crazy and horrifying stories in the news. It seems that all of a sudden there's been an eruption of gruesome and appalling stuff going on, and I don't know what to think. It's like episodes of Criminal Minds are becoming reality or something.
It started a while ago, when the man in Miami was eating off another's face, snarling at police, and continuing even after being shot at four times. When I first heard this, I thought there was no way that it could be true. This was also the first time I had heard about the 'bath salts' drug that seems to have erupted in the media lately. I don't understand why this drug wasn't made illegal as soon as its impact and side effects were discovered.
Next, there was the Maryland man who killed his room mate, and ate his heart and parts of his brain after dismembering him. He then stored his head and hands in his basement. This was the second gruesome cannibal related incident within a week in the United States.
Then, I heard about the man from New Jersey who called the police to say he was threatening to hurt himself. Once they arrived, he stabbed himself more than 50 times all over his body and then threw his intestines at the police.
Of course then there was the man in Montreal who dismembered another (while filming it all) in order to send pieces of him to Parliament. To make matters even creepier he then performed sexual acts with the dismembered body after the fact. He then fled the country and was arrested in Berlin on Monday.
So after reading about all this, I've been wondering what brought on this onslaught of killing and gore? Why all of a sudden have these incidents been happening? I'm not sure, but it is frightening to think about the potential that humans have to harm one another when they aren't in a right state of mind.
