Precisely. Such things CAN happen here. And with John Edwards pushing for mandatory government health care, including mandatory mental health screening, they will.
That is the most dangerous proposition by a candidate that I have ever heard.
Anyone that has ever taken the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) test will quickly agree with me.
Interpretation of test results is everything in psychology. Anyone who says that psychology is a true science is a fool.
Take any of these test on a bad day and you are a goner.
Yes, and when combined with laws like the proposed Veterans Disarmament Act (HR 2640), we will see the systematic and automatic denial of some civil rights, starting with the right to keep and bear arms based on such screening. This is made possible by mandated electronic medical records (EMR) which is a vital component to the destruction of privacy and civil rights.
Based on how law enforcement and the legal system treat other mass database records about individual activities, everyone’s EMR will not be anymore private than are electronic toll booth (easyPass) or cell phone location records. All it will take is someone to flash a badge and fax a demand to produce your records. Of course “strong laws” will protect all of us from abuse, like they protected all the people whose FBI files were found in the White House the last time Hillary lived there.
