Do you consider yourself part of the "United States"?

How come every time you hear that the "United States" did something whether it be sign a treaty, pass a law, invade a country, etc. you were never a part of it, never had a say in in and never had anything to do with it?

I propose to all of you that psychiatry is the biggest and most hidden political problem of 2009. The people who control the conversation about it, psychiatrists, have the diagnostic labels to ruin the reputations of people who have been mistreated by them. I propose to you that abuse of power is a regular occurrence in psychiatry. It is built into how the treatment system works as well as endemic in the types of individuals it attracts. What's more, few patients can point this out without being dismissed as "crazy" and "in need of treatment" because, of course, they were once patients. The very structure of the hospitals is abusive and inhumane. You are treated like a wild animal in a cage, your leash is just invisible. Your belt, shoelaces, wallet, and cell phone are taken from you.

You're an anarchist now. Welcome to the club. Have a beer.
