I was stunned to see a medical doctor on ``Good Morning America'' state in all seriousness that the people affected by the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma need Prozac.
One need not be an M.D. to know that if Prozac is good for anything at all, it is for clinical depression, the causes of which are internal, not the sadness caused by the murder of loved ones.
How disturbing that Americans are being told that what they need in the hour of trial is not spiritual fortitude, faith and prayer but drugs.
