I’m taking a brief hiatus from my little series on marriage (much to my boyfriend’s relief, no doubt 
) to weigh in on the recent tragedy in Tucson, AZ.
It seems everyone has an opinion about what happened there, and I’m no different. For myself, though, I’d prefer not to venture into the right vs. left argument about whether or not Loughner’s attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others was politically motivated. Instead, I’d like to focus on the questions surrounding mental health and the issues of individual freedom vs. collective good that this incident has raised.
