Obviously I replied to Aaron Silverstein, who regularly posts intelligent comments here. You should emulate him. My sympathetic comment was aimed at Mr. Silverstein and not at Mr. Crowe, though I don't think Crowe "chose his destiny" in any sense. Mental illness is not a choice any more than Alzheimer's disease is; it is a fate over which the afflicted have little or no control. Similarly, if one is born with low intelligence that isn't a choice. However, hatred towards your fellow humans IS a choice, and a poor one at that.
