This propaganda belongs on the business pages with notation "Advertisement" promoting psychiatric drugs. It begins with fantasy and builds on irrational discourse. Saying "Now that someone with mental illness has shot one of Washington's own," is untrue twice. There is no evidence except in the minds of hateful people that Jared Loughner is mentally ill. If Jaffee has evidence how did he get it? In violation of any state and US privacy laws? Or is the liberal Sheriff who blames conservatives his source? Jaffee shows his bias declaring US Rep. Giffords as being of Washington. She is from Arizona and represents voters not the DC cesspool.
Jaffee says "most mentally-ill people are not violent -- and Congress seems content with ignoring those who are." Another lie. State laws control violent acts with exceptions where US laws share jurisdiction. State laws address violence well with Due Process protections. They are called crimes. Jaffee wants to use psychiatry which has no due process protections when taking liberty and punishing civilians which he calls treatment.
He cites prominent cases where the defendants had a history of abuses by psychiatrists. Ted Kaczynski was used for psychiatric experiments at Harvard. Others were taking psychiatric chemicals which are known causes (even by the drug company controlled FDA) of violent thoughts and actions. Jaffee prefers more drug induced violence under law.
Jaffee is confused about homeless people who are often required to take psychiatric chemicals in order to get housing contrary to law. He fails to recognize that being homeless causes people to be irrational. His priority is taxpayer funded drugging of homeless people instead of providing homes. Good business plan.
He objects to counseling people to stop taking psychiatric chemicals -- a known cause of violence. He promotes perpetual taking of psychiatric chemicals. Great business plan to be implemented under force of government police power. How thoughtful.
His biggest lie is saying, "the disease is in the brain." That is a fantasy promoted by drug company PR flacks. Psychiatry defines illnesses (made up by consensus) as behavior and speech symptoms. They have not shown any connection between the behavior and any brain abnormality.
His conclusion that "If there is any sanity needed, it's in how Washington addresses mental illness." is the only statement that makes sense. Congress must end the largest boondoggle in history by ending all taxpayer funded psychiatric treatment; stop criminal psychiatric abuses; and stop wasting taxpayer funds.
