May I interrupt this thread for a moment with a plea?

Seizures are unrelated to mental or emotional illness. I've heard people on television and read comments on these threads that show incredible ignorance on this.

Don't make FR look stupid. Burkett may have been hospitalized for depression or whatever, but seizures are not to be associated with mental illness.

So he lies about the documents, but we are asked to believe he doesn't lie about anything else, like, oh say, seizures? Okey, dokey!

Burkett may or may not have seizures, but in terms of his soon-to-be-filed-lawsuit, facts regarding seizures matter little.

"seizures are not to be associated with mental illness."

Thanks. Seizures are related to a short-circuit in the brain that causes bodily collapse. In the brain, there are synapses that are very similar to tunneling diodes in the electrical world. Shottkey diodes and field-effect xistors. nerve paths cross polarities and you have siezures. Electrons build up on one side of the barrier and can't cross.

True, we have a wire hair terrier that has seizures, and he is more mentally stable that most Rats, wait, let me rephrase that, we have...

"...seizures are not to be associated with mental illness>"

That thinking is midieval. The man may have a mental illness. Siezures would be unrelated.
