Michael Hays Is Right

He's just an average citizen in Arizona who wrote to the Arizona Republic after its editors recently dinged up the Scientologists for trying to push a nutso bill through the Arizona State Legislature. Hays made several intelligent points, among them that the Scientologists are wrong; there is over-prescribing of psych meds; and, policy debate in America is so under the thumb of non-profit advocacy groups (aka special interest groups) that even a bloody UFO cult can get a bill through one house of a state's legislature and that shit like that is a threat to democracy. As long as citizens like Hays are around, I'd say democracy has a fighting chance and so does mental health treatment.
