> Dr. Fuller Torrey's ideas don't apply to my own problems as far as I'm aware. I have not been diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. I wonder, if you're such a strong advocate Squiggles, why you're not incarcerated in an institution yourself?Advocacy of Torrey's views is not a qualification
for incarceration. And when I speak of Torrey's
views, I am not referring to locking up depressives or bipolars and using a whip -- i am referring to open clinics that all people with private or domestic or psychological problems can go to for medical help, instead of church basements and minimum care.I would say you are rather impolite with me and presumptuous about my values.
