Consumers Fight Virginia On Legal Changes

And the Washington Post has a decent account of the situation, including a cameo by Alison Hymes, author the Charlottesville Prejudice Watch site and an ally in trying to get the big mess around mental health issues in this country resolved.

I would never see a therapist if I lived in Virginia. Forget it.

How do we know that Cho of Virginia Tech didn't receive mandated treatment? The records from the University Health Center are missing in regard to his case.

Sickening how the so-called authorities are using a case that is 'suspect', to say the least, in order to force more legislation for forced treatment.

Will the farce never end? I wonder if we will ever find out what the college coed in Louisiana was taking when she murdered two of her fellow students and took her own life. If this is all kept secret, then we can expect more legislation on the mandated treatments. The world is getting 'weirder' --- and more dangerous.
