Bar HI = mdllldUdl dUl By Tara L. Osborn We have become an increasingly dependent society ? dependent on others to provide food, deliver services, listen and respond to ideas. In turn, each of us in some small way provides something that adds something to the world; John Donne once told us "never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." This is true, because when one person dies, there is a small part of all of us that passes away, too. We have developed into a generation whprp r*nntar?t ic tremely vital. It is almost impossible to imagine anyone who is not touched by something in the outside world; we are a product of what we do, what we see and experience, and with whom we come in contact. So what happens when one of us goes awry? It affects society as a whole. We have been conditioned into thinking that 4 'one vote doesn't matter" or "what can I do to change anything?"

The Tylenol scare ? one person's mad delusion ? has forced a company to recall an entire product, spurred law enforcement officials to work intensely at cracking the case, terrified an entire country and, lest we forget, killed eight people. One person can point a gun at an important official, pull the trigger, and change the course of history. John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Anwar Sadat ? how would things be different if they had lived? One person terrified the entire city of Atlanta last summer, just as Son of Sam paralyzed New York a few years ago.

Even more difficult for us to believe, there is a Lee Harvey Oswald in all of us, too. Don't be alarmed! This is not to say that we are all going to turn into homicidal maniacs ? or Medal of Honor winners either, for that matter. But the potential is there. It is up to psychologists, sociologists and other experts to learn what pushes people to the extreme. Until then, we must realize our dependency on everyone else and our common experiences with one another. After all, "no man is an island unto himself."
