'I am not alone in regarding the two-party system as a false
stratification, a dumb-show concocted for the public as a means to
distract attention from the ruling elite.'

--Adam Parfrey, from 'Cult Rapture'

'"I would hopefully be a good role model. I'm in recovery," declares
Cindy McCain, wife of Senator and former presidential hopeful John
McCain (R-Az). Mrs McCain had used controlled substances that she had
stolen while she worked as a member of a "charity she had set up to
send medical relief to the Third World."'

--Thomas Szasz, from 'Pharmacracy: Medicine and Politics in America'

'...American law, medicine, and public opinion now regard not only
involuntary confinement in a mental hospital, but also involuntary
participation in a so-called drug treatment program as a bona fide
medical treatment. The following statement, in 'The Handbook of Drug
Control in the United States', edited by University of Delaware
Professor James Inciardi and U.S. Senator Joseph Biden, Jr. (D-Del), is
illustrative: "Civil commitment is frequently used with addicts who are
arrested for criminal activity; with criminal charges pending, the
addict can be coerced into treament and retained long enough to receive
the benefits of a treatment program."'

--Thomas Szasz, from 'A Lexicon of Lunacy: Metaphoric Malady, Moral
Responsibility, and Psychiatry'

Wonder why Mrs. McCain hasn't been involuntarily commited. Maybe
that'll be Biden's first order of business!
