That's all well and good, but the government has no business being involved in it on any level whatsoever. Mental illness is the epitome of private concern, and the science of psychiatry is centuries away from having the technology to be able to do something like this responsibly.

What's wrong with it? 4 million American boys drugged into submission is what's wrong with it. The ease with which ficticious illnesses can be created, and people coerced into taking drugs that they don't want nor need, is the problem with it. And government involvement, on my tax dollar, is also the problem with it.

Can you imagine what a Democrat President would do with such power? How far a step is it to deciding that anyone with a particular political opinion is mentally ill and must be drugged for their own good?

This is extremely frightening stuff and it has no place in a free society.

The New Freedom Initiative, according to a progress report, seeks to integrate mentally ill patients fully into the community by providing "services in the community, rather than institutions," the British Medical Journal reported.

That way, when you are hosting out of town guests, the mentally ill community can bang on your door looking for services. Genesis 19
