Yup..that about sums it up.

Although in all cases I would add:

"School goes in lockdown, FBI called in, counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers and note of apology sent home by Principal."

Scenario 9:

Jimmy is depressed about the economy and his future prospects in life.

1981 - Jimmy turns on the TV, hears a speech by Ronald Reagan and his faith in America is restored.

2011 - Jimmy turns on the TV, hears a speech by Barak Obama, puts a gun to his head and ends the misery.

(sorry, that was a little gruesome)

Jimmy blew his brains out because he realized how much of a gullible lemming he was when he voted for Bobo the Socialist Clown.

Can't say I blame him.
