Sometimes the phrase "March Madness" lives up to its name. There was a Full Moon at 04:41:42 AM EST on March 8, 2012. One of this year's more extremely high tides called Spring Tides occurs in March 2012 from Friday, March 9 through Monday, March 12, 2012. Significant "random" human events have taken place, thusfar, during this full moon-spring tide cycle. A psychiatric person shoots up a psychiatric institute. A flight attendant disrupts a flight. A frequent court inquirer stabs a judge. An American solider kills civilians in Afghanistan. If you step back from these incidents, you will observe the unusual irony underlining each of their roles in the sites of their actions. They all actually are extreme behavioral outbursts of people merely doing what they have routinely done, but this time, abnormally and violently.

Gabrielle Giffords, a Democratic Congresswoman, the first Jewish woman representative from Arizona, was shot through her brain in a mass shooting at a Safeway parking lot in Tuscon, Arizona, on January 8th, 2011, at about 10:10 am, local Arizona time. Earlier in the afternoon, CNN and NPR reported that she had died. But later, the news was changed to a report that she had survived. Six other people, including a nine-year-old girl who was born on 9/11, were killed, and a total of 18 were injured. Federal law enforcement sources said that John M. Roll, the senior U.S. District judge in Arizona, was shot and killed in the incident. An aide of Giffords, a former social worker, also apparently was among those who have died. A 22-year old man was taken into custody after being tackled by people in the small crowd after the shootin...
