Yet Another Day, Yet Another Post Article

There was another opinion piece in the WashPo on the murderers in Virginia, written by the paper's metro columnist. Man, you know shit is getting serious when the metro columnist breaks out the pen. As usual, it's armchair thinking about how families ought to be able to force patients into treatment, calling the present situation "a bind for families." Um, what about the bind for patients? Oh wait, I'd better not mention that the patient will end up impotent, obese, cognitively impaired and so on. That's what American society wants. There is nothing better we can offer patients we deem to be ill, therefore there is no reason to even tip your hat to the notion about the immense "bind" patients who play by the rules find themselves in. Anything else is just "hippie" talk. Right, Fuller Torrey and TAC?

And, um, guys: Anyone wonder why the Post has seen fit to print 4 opinion pieces on all of this? Or is it just a slow news cycle in DC? Talk about beating a dead horse into the ground.
