It’s not uncommon for me to hear someone screaming at the top of their lungs, really pissed off in the middle of the night on my street. Now granted I live in Hollywood, which is known for crazies, but it seems to be getting worse everywhere. People who are losing it. Out of their minds. Talking to imaginary people. Angry . Vengeful. Homeless.

Maybe I need to move to the suburbs. But even when I visit friends who are out in be burbs, I see it there too. Sometimes in even more violent forms. Shootings and crazy stuff. I see friends pushed by the stress of keeping up financially. Students trying to keep up academically. Veterans with post traumatic stress . Just all kinds of craziness. People are cracking up. People are breaking down.
